Personal Bio
Born and raised in Southern California, I grew up in the San Fernando Valley. I began my career in real estate and finance in 1986, after working in the motion picture industry right after graduating high school, following in the family’s footsteps. I started in Commercial Real Estate at the young age of 26 and transitioned into the Mortgage Industry in 1993. I have earned RocketPro Mortgages Pinnacle Award 2 years in a row, in 2020 and 2021, for achieving the Top 10% of all mortgage loan originators in the nation.
I’ve been married for 42 years to my beautiful & amazing high school sweetheart and partner, Margot, who was a 2nd grade schoolteacher for 27 years. Margot’s passion is and has always been family, children and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I owe all my success to her relentless support and dedication to me and our family.
We are blessed with three wonderful children. Preston, who is a retired Los Angeles County Fireman and father of 3 (Dawson, Porter and Chase) with his wife Chelsea. Quinn, who is a financial advisor and father of 2 (Maverick and Stetson) with his wife Carly, and Whitney who is a mother of twins (Lee and Blake) with her husband Josh. Preston, Quinn and Whitney played water polo in college. Preston went on to become a Fireman after graduating from Cal Lutheran University. After graduating from Pepperdine University, Quinn went on to become a teacher and head water polo coach for Crespi High School in Encino for 7 years until transitioning into finance where he now manages 401K’s for large companies nationally. After a very successful college career playing water polo at Loyola Marymount University on a full scholarship where Whitney held several records, became a 2-time Division 1 All-American and a USA Women’s Water Polo Champion and MVP, Whitney has been enjoying a career as a Flight Assistant for Virgin America, now Alaska Airlines. We are all consumed with family, work and more family. Our family completed our master plan with a total of 27 family members currently living within a 30 minute drive of each other.
When not in the office, I’m with family, playing drums at venues throughout 5 counties with my band almost every weekend, playing golf with family, and hanging with my family.
I really enjoy working with people and helping them achieve their home ownership and financial goals. It is extremely satisfying and rewarding!
