About Me

Jack was born in Monterey, California and raised in Soledad, a rapidly growing city in the heart of the Salinas Valley. From the stunning beaches and breathtaking views of the Monterey Peninsula to the vast, endless rows of agricultural fields that feed the world, surrounded by tall and proud mountain ranges, Monterey County is the most beautiful place on earth. With its diverse range of ecosystems, its temperate year-round weather, and its iconic historical and cultural significance, this wondrous place is the envy of the world. As someone lucky enough to call this place home, Jack has made it his mission to make his Central Coast community's dreams of homeownership a reality.


A Monterey County native, he is committed to serving the very community that saw him grow into the man he is today. Buying and selling your home is one of the most significant life decisions one can ever make. It is absolutely critical to work with an agent who knows the area, both geographically and economically, and to work with someone who has a genuine, authentic passion for people, someone who's primary drive is to help people attain their goals and fulfill their real estate needs and not a person who is only in it for the money, regardless of the outcome for their clients. I live to serve and I am thrilled to help.
