I began my career in Real Estate as a Sales Manager for a small company in May of 2000. I obtained my Real Estate license in October of that year and started practicing Real Estate immediately. The next few years, I worked diligently at learning our profession and building my business. In September of 2006, I obtained my Brokers license and I continue to learn, work and practice the profession that I love.

Due to the recent changes in our market, I found it necessary to make the time, effort and financial investment needed to obtain the knowledge and expertise to allow me to help the many homeowners who are finding themselves financially upside down in their homes. I have completed the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) training and now proudly display the CDPE Designation as well as the Short Sale & Foreclosure Resourse (SFR) Designation. In addition, I have also completed the REO/BPO Certified Training Program dealing with the foreclosure market and am a Designated REO Specialist. My passion truly is "to make a positive difference in the lives of others"!

I attended San Joaquin Delta College for two years majoring in Business and have also taken many additional professional courses and seminars throughout my career. I am a graduate of Leadership Lodi Class 2002 and belong to the Lodi Association of Realtors, California Association of Realtors, National Association of Realtors, Lodi Chamber of Commerce and the Bethel Open Bible Men's Ministry.

Last May, I celebrated the 42nd anniversary of my 21st birthday. My wife Erika and I have been married for over 44 years. We have 3 grown sons and 9 grandkids. (6 boys and 3 girls) I served in the U.S. Navy from November of 1964 through May of 1968 and spent time on both an aircraft carrier and a destroyer.

I truly enjoy helping people. I am fortunate! This business allows me to do so on a regular basis! Call me! I look forward to helping you too!.
