Honorable Discharge
After getting Honorably Discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps, I found myself jobless after being rejected by many employers due to not having a degree. So, I decided to use my G.I. Bill and enroll in college.2000
Houston Fire Department
I joined the Houston Fire Dept., joined the 1st Battalion/23rd Marines Infantry Reserve unit in Houston, TX, and began courses at Houston Community College.2003
TREC License
In order to make more money, I earned my Texas Real Estate License and then transferred to the University of Houston to pursue a Degree in Business Administration.2005
BBA Finance & Management - U of H
I graduated from the University of Houston with a BBA in Finance & Management and accepted a job as a Personal Banker. After realizing that the corporate wasn’t for me, I quit after my 2nd day of training, and decided to go all in with Real Estate as a career.2007
Independent Brokerage
I opened up my own Boutique/Independent Real Estate Brokerage and began to grow my business and work on my extensive Real Estate Education.2011
Executive MBA - U of H
Wanting to enhance my Education and Business Skills, I enrolled the University of Houston and began the Executive MBA Leadership program and graduated in 2013.2013
Joined RE/MAX
After being rejected for several listings because I wasn’t associated with a National Real Estate Company, I realized that brand does matter and may influence a customer’s decision. After 30 days of research, I decided to join RE/MAX because of its strong brand, culture of growth, history of productivity, and world-wide reach.2014
Opened own RE/MAX Franchise
I opened a RE/MAX franchise in East Downtown Houston, and quickly grew to over 50 agents within 2 years. This proved to me that Brand plays a huge role with growth & productivity.2017
Motto Mortgage - Franchise
The opportunity to add a Motto Mortgage Franchise as an Ancillary business was presented to me. After much consideration, I decided to proceed with it in order to help more people and provide a value added service to our Realtors and clients.2018
Real Estate Brokerage - Merger
I merged my Real Estate Brokerage with RE/MAX Top Realty because I realized they had what my brokerage lacked; a superior training program and the best Real Estate Broker & Mentor in Texas.2020
Further Diversification
I launched Rentsucks.com in order to educate Homebuyers and link them up with local-experienced Professionals that will guide them with their home purchase and make sure they get the best deal possible at the lowest costs.2022

Family friendly development in Corpus Christi, TX which includes live entertainment, food & games, and a rooftop terrace.
