I was born in Quonset Point, Rhode Island. My father was a Navy Pilot, and in 1963, he was transfered to Monterey, California to teach Aviation Safety at Naval Post Graduate School. The Monterey Bay area was a great place to grow up. The West Coast is the best coast!
In 1973, I graduated high school and started college. In 1977, I met and married my wife Deborah, put on a suit and tie, and went to work as an agent for Prudential Insurance Company. In 1979, my wife got a great job offer, so we moved from the Monterey Bay area to San Jose, where I started my real estate career as a property manager. In 1984, our daughter Pearl was born and in 1987, our son Max was born. While managing rental properties, many tenants wanted to become homeowners, so in 1988, I got my California Department of Real Estate sales license to help them with that goal. As a new Realtor, I found financing is the first step in shopping for a home, so in 1989, I completed my first of many programs in real estate finance and loan officer training. I've done mortgage loan origination exclusively since 2000. In 2016, we completed a major remodel of our forever home and moved back to the Monterey Bay area to Oak Hills.
