Preparation, trust, and staying level-headed. Before becoming a Realtor®, I spent 23 years serving the community as a Huntington Beach firefighter. Today, I bring that exact same discipline to protecting your real estate interests.

As a lifelong South Orange County resident and an active short-term rental investor in Big Bear and La Quinta, I offer more than just access to the MLS. I provide real-world experience, deep neighborhood insights, and honest advice to help you make confident decisions.
