I was born and raised in Glendale, California, and no matter where life has taken me, Palmdale, Downey, or even El Salvador, Glendale will always feel like home. I attended Glenoaks Elementary, Wilson Middle School, and Glendale High School. At one point, I even studied culinary arts because I’ve always loved cooking and being in the kitchen. I started working in office environments at 18, supporting loan officers at companies like CalFed, Fannie Mae, and IndyMac. Later, I moved to El Salvador, where I spent about 10 years growing into roles such as Quality Assurance and Supervisor. During that time, I also worked part-time as an English teacher for intermediate-level students. Those experiences taught me how to communicate clearly, stay organized, and truly listen. What excites me most about my work is progress. I enjoy taking on long-term projects, organizing them in a spreadsheet, and watching them come together step by step. On calls, I love when clients feel that “aha” moment, when insurance finally makes sense and everything falls into place. Helping people feel confident in their decisions is incredibly rewarding. Outside of work, I’m all about family. Being present for my wife and daughters means everything to me. Saturdays are dedicated to my oldest daughter’s activities, whether it’s soccer or something new she’s exploring. I also love cooking and grilling, riding and modifying my motorcycle, and singing along to 90s love songs (even though alternative rock is my favorite). I’m handy around the house and can fix almost anything, except electrical work. I know my limits!
