I am the son of an immigrant family and the youngest of four siblings. More than 43 years ago, my family came to the United States in search of peace, opportunity, and a better future. When I was 15 years old, we put down roots in Glendale. I attended Hoover High School, built lifelong friendships, and learned firsthand the values of hard work, responsibility, and community that continue to guide me today.

More than three decades ago, I started a small finance business in Glendale alongside my brother. What began as a family effort grew into a lifelong career centered on helping people. I’ve worked with first-time homebuyers, small business owners, and families striving to build stability and security. Over the years, I’ve helped thousands of residents navigate some of the most important financial decisions of their lives—always guided by the belief that honest advice and education can change outcomes. Over time, our business expanded to serve clients in 34 states nationwide and worked with mortgage-backed securities firms around the world, giving me a strong understanding of both local needs and broader economic forces.
