San Jose, California
The short version
I grew up here. After high school I went to trade school and spent my first working years in commercial HVAC — crawl spaces, rooftops, mechanical rooms. That's where I learned how buildings actually go together, what fails first, and what it really costs to fix.
In 2014 I moved into real estate and worked as an agent, first with Keller Williams and then Intero. I did well at it, but what I liked most was the houses themselves: the ones that needed someone to see past the mess. In 2017 I bought my first investment property. By the time I'd done a few, LRG Homes was my full-time work.
Today that's what the company does: buy single-family homes and small multifamily buildings in the South Bay — often estates, often tired, sometimes a real project — renovate them properly, with permits, and sell them to families who want a finished house.
I studied Business and Economics at San Jose State, which comes in handy. The HVAC years come in handier.
