About Me

I was born and raised in the beautiful city of San Diego, and I can't imagine living anywhere else. The combination of sun, surf, and vibrant community life makes it a perfect place to call home. I am a proud father of two amazing daughters, and I cherish every moment spent with them. Whether it's exploring the local beaches, hiking trails, or enjoying a Padres game, we make the most of what San Diego has to offer.
I graduated from Menlo College with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. During my time at Menlo, I was also a competitive NCAA athlete on the school's baseball team. The discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills I developed as a student-athlete have been invaluable in my professional journey.

After college, I embarked on a rewarding career in executive management, operations, and hospitality in San Diego. This phase of my career allowed me to hone my leadership skills and gain a deep understanding of business operations.
In 2013, I made a seamless transition to becoming a Financial Advisor at Northwestern Mutual. My experience and business acumen have proven to be excellent foundations for my role, where I help clients achieve their financial goals and secure their futures. I hold my Series 6 and Series 63 securities licenses, ensuring that I am well-equipped to provide comprehensive financial advice.

In my spare time, I love to immerse myself in all the activities that make San Diego special. From beach days to hiking, I enjoy staying active and spending quality time with my family. Sports continue to be a passion of mine, and I often find myself on the baseball field, either playing or coaching.

Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
