Las Cruces, NM
Originally from Ruidoso, New Mexico, I knew from a young age that I wanted to serve others. After graduating high school, I joined the United States Marine Corps and was stationed in San Diego. During my time in the Marine Corps, I deployed in 2018 and had the opportunity to serve in and travel throughout Kuwait, Malaysia, Africa, Dubai, and Qatar.
In 2020, I transitioned out of the Marine Corps and began a new chapter, pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I graduated in December 2023, building a career centered around communication, compassion, and helping others.
Today, my wife, our two children, and I are proud to call Las Cruces home. My experiences in the military, healthcare, and education have taught me the importance of hard work, communication, attention to detail, and, most importantly, putting people first.
I understand that buying or selling a home involves many moving parts, and my goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property, or making your next move, I’m committed to being there every step of the way.
For me, real estate is about more than transactions. It’s about building relationships, bringing people together, and treating every client like family. I look forward to helping you find not just a house, but a place you can truly call home....
