A stalwart in the Las Vegas, Nevada community, he has distinguished himself in various sectors, genuine estate and finance. His journey is marked by significant contributions, innovative insights, and strategic leadership that have shaped these industries.

With exceptional leadership qualities and an immense work ethic, he founded Del Mar Mortgage in 1995. This venture started a series of successful enterprises, highlighting his ability to turn visions into tangible successes. Two years later, he was pivotal in launching Nevada First Bank, a state-chartered bank noted for having the most significant initial capital base in Nevada's history. In 2012, he expanded his business acumen by venturing into the brokerage business as a principal of MVP American Securities.
