Real estate is my full-time job and my passion: I get to help people through the biggest transactions of their lives. When I'm not doing that, or helping navigate the youth soccer club I started, you'll find me weightlifting, doing yoga, traveling, or out hunting.
I'm your advocate
I don't think of myself as just an agent. I'm on your team, working toward your goals, from the first showing to the closing table. I ask the questions you might not think to ask, I push for you the way I'd want someone pushing for me, and I never make a move without your approval first. That's what advocating for a client actually means.
I also lean on market data and AI tools to find real leverage: undervalued properties, real investment and flip potential, and a negotiating position built on knowing more than the other side of the table. But none of that works if I'm not listening first, to what you actually want, not what I think you should want. I even scored in the 96th percentile on a recent IQ test in March of 2026 for my listening and recall skills. I'm literally a professional listener.
How I got here
I bought my first home in 2021, and I was fortunate with the timing. Watching that equity build taught me something a lot of people don't figure out until much later: real estate might be the single most powerful wealth-building tool a regular person has access to. I wanted my friends and family to have that same shot at building something for themselves and the next generation, so I got my license.
I closed my first two deals, including a million-dollar purchase, within my first 90 days in the business. I'm a third-generation Arizonan, born and raised right here in the Valley, and I've built my business the same way ever since: friends, family, and the people I meet along the way who end up trusting me with one of the biggest decisions of their life.
What I've learned since is that the agents who actually win for their clients are the ones who communicate the data most effectively, understand the contract and how it really works, and can talk with all kinds of people. Winning the trust of the agent on the other side of a deal is how you get the information you need to position your client well. I'm highly regarded by other agents, and I can talk to anybody. Call it being a chameleon, in a good way.
Advocating for you the way you want to be advocated for is why I'm good at this, and it's why I was awarded Top 5% Agent in Arizona in 2026.
My family and I started Thunderbird Football Club in 2018.
Soccer has been central to my life for as long as I can remember. I played club at Sereno and SC del Sol growing up, won a state championship my senior year at Brophy in 2013, and played collegiately at the University of Redlands. I loved the game and always wanted to get into coaching, which is a big part of why my family started Thunderbird FC. I currently hold a U.S. Soccer National B coaching license.
TFC is a nonprofit soccer club serving Phoenix, Scottsdale, and the surrounding communities, built to help kids grow physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally through the game. Today I act as chairman, helping the operators with any challenges that come up, rather than running the day-to-day myself. I built something that now sustains itself: a year-round competitive club with about 150 kids on the roster, three rec leagues that put about 500 kids on the field, and two tournaments each year, the TFC Winter Festival and TFC Spring Cup, that draw more than 100 teams apiece. More than 2,000 kids have come through the program since 2018. It's proof I can build something real based on nothing but showing up for people, which is exactly what I do for my clients now. Real estate is the full-time focus these days, but the instinct is the same.
