Background

Real estate and operations

More than fifteen years in commercial real estate: as a retail investment broker selling shopping centers across Southern California, seven years at a venture-backed hospitality company, where he finished as Regional Director for the Western US and Canada overseeing growth, leasing and asset management across hotels, multifamily and short-term rentals, and most recently leading commercial lease negotiations for large industrial and office portfolios.

Education and license

An MBA from the Knauss School of Business at the University of San Diego, and an active California real estate broker's license.

Investing and business

More than twenty years as an active investor in stocks, options and futures, and a small business owner. He has also managed a windfall of his own, which shaped his book on what to do after a sale, an inheritance or a settlement.

At DollarShuffle
