I was born in La Mesa, California in 1964. As a child I attended U.S. Grant Elementary School right here in Mission Hills. After attending Roosevelt Junior High School for three years, I went on to Point Loma Senior High School. In 1982 I graduated from Point Loma High School with Academic Distinction. From 1982 through 1986 I completed my undergraduate studies at U.C.S.D. in La Jolla and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics.

In 1987 I received my Real Estate Salesperson's License and continued working in real estate until the end of 1990. In 1991 I received a Multiple Subject Professional Clear Teaching Credential from U.C.S.D. Upon receiving my teaching credential, I was employed by a number of school districts in San Diego County as a substitue teacher. In 1995 I moved to Fremantle, Western Australia and worked as a High School Mathematics Instructor for the West Australian Department of Education until October of 2001.

After returning to the United States I returned to the field of real estate in 2004, and earned my Real Estate Broker's License in 2006. I have worked for Prudential California Realty since 2005 and I am experienced in both Commercial and Residential Sales, as well as Commercial Leases. As part of the very successful Russell Elrod Team, I look forward to providing the highest level of service to the San Diego Community.

In addition to my Real Estate Broker's license and Teaching Credential, I possess the Series 7 and Series 63 Stockbroker's licenses.

I am married to my wonderful wife, Sarina, have two lovely daughters, Christina and Annalisa, and my hobbies include: playing the guitar, fishing, reading, and photography.
