I was raised in the vibrant town of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, alongside three wonderful siblings. As a child, my dreams were fueled by a desire to become a Counterintelligence Agent, but life has a funny way of leading us down unexpected paths. Little did I know that a life-changing turn would reveal my true calling in the real estate industry.

 

From a young age, I learned the importance of hard work and perseverance in achieving my dreams. I pursued my education with determination, earning a bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Puerto Rico's Mayaguez Campus and another in Information Technology from DeVry Technical Institute in Orlando, Florida.

 

My military career as an Army intelligence officer shaped my professional journey. Rising through the ranks to become a Counterintelligence Major, I served in various capacities, including crucial assignments defending our national interest and during the Gulf War. These experiences cultivated my analytical and strategic skills and ignited a sense of duty to provide exceptional service to others.

 

After my military service, I transitioned to the corporate world, managing retail for two Fortune 500 companies and eventually operating a successful optical franchise. However, it was my personal experience as a homebuyer that truly ignited my passion for real estate. Disheartened by the customer service I received during my home purchase, I recognized a critical gap in the industry that I was determined to fill.

 

Twenty-nine years ago, this realization propelled me into real estate, and I've since committed myself to changing the narrative of the home buying and selling experience. I quickly learned that excellent customer service was paramount in building lasting client relationships. My military intelligence and corporate management background equipped me with the skills to understand the importance of perseverance, problem-solving, and education in ensuring client satisfaction.

 

As I advanced in my career, I embraced the role of a real estate counselor, equipping myself with specialized training that spans various facets of the industry—property management, financing, appraisal, and investment strategies, among others. My commitment to ongoing education, including over 20 designations and certifications, ensures I remain a knowledgeable resource for my clients, guiding them with insight and expertise in every transaction.

 

Throughout my diverse career, I've been honored with several accolades, several military medals including the Bronze Star and recognition in Who's Who, as well as being named Franchisee of the Year and Real Estate Rookie of the Year. These awards reflect my dedication to excellence and unwavering commitment to my client's success.

 

Living in Kissimmee, Florida, with my wife Damaris, our daughter Lisa, and our beloved pets Bella, Lux and Lulu, I've come to appreciate Central Florida's unique charm and vibrancy. My deep-rooted passion for technology and digital marketing has not only allowed me to adapt to the ever-evolving real estate landscape but also to thrive in it, helping my clients buy and sell their homes efficiently and effectively.

 

At Coldwell Banker Realty, I found a team that shares my vision of exceptional customer service and high standards of excellence. Together, we strive to create meaningful experiences for every client I serve. My ultimate goal is to help you achieve your real estate dreams by providing a compassionate, dedicated, and results-driven service you can count on.

 

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of working with you and helping you realize your real estate aspirations!
