I graduated from the University of Southern California in the spring of 2007 with a degree in Planning and Development with an emphasis in Residential Real Estate.I have been fortunate to attend all the public schools in Manhattan Beach, from Pacific Elementary, Manhattan Beach Intermediate to Mira Costa High School. I am a strong believer of playing sports because of the essential values it brings out.I was the captain of the National Champion Boy's volleyball team at Mira Costa in 2001 and C.I.F. Champion in 2002.At USC, I was a four-year letterman and captain of the men's volleyball team from 2004-2007. Being the captain of those teams taught me the dedication, leadership, and communication skills that I have continued to use in my business life at South Bay Brokers.Being a lifelong resident of Manhattan Beach, I have grown to appreciate the lifestyle this community presents. My father has been doing Real Estate since 1987 and seeing the enjoyment it brought him over the years re-affirmed my desire to follow in his footsteps.Since starting my Real Estate career with South Bay Brokers in 2007, I have been fortunate enough to see the market in all of its stages, from the peak in 2007 to the bottom in 2008-09. I understand what "real value" is in today's market. I look forward to using that experience and knowledge for my future business
