About
Professional Summary
A seasoned commercial real estate advisor in Southern California, I focus on properties in densely populated multicultural and Hispanic markets. In particular, I specialize in retail development, redevelopment, strategic planning and consulting services for owners, retailers and municipalities.
Before joining Colliers, I was with CBRE in Southern California for 14 years. I have been unrivaled throughout my career in the sale, leasing and development of commercial properties in multicultural and Hispanic trade areas throughout California. I have assisted numerous regional, national and international occupiers and, to date, I have been involved in more than 65 shopping center developments that together total more than 6 million square feet.
Over the years, I have developed an impeccable reputation and track record for closing transactions on behalf of both private and institutional landlords and tenants, as well as handling the sale of investment properties. I have also been involved in the sourcing, planning, development and marketing of multiple high-profile projects in Southern California.
Before getting into the brokerage side of commercial real estate, I served as director of acquisitions and leasing for Comstock, Crosser and Associates Development Co., a development company based in Manhattan Beach, CA. There, I was responsible for identifying and acquiring commercial properties for redevelopment, assembling development sites and expansion of Top Valu and Valu + Food Warehouse grocery chains.

Prior to joining Colliers International in 2013, I graduated from USC in 2009 and spent time at CBRE as well as Marcus & Millichap. While at Marcus and Millichap, I focused on investment sales for retail properties and shopping centers in the San Fernando Valley. I also have experience with the Westfield Corporation where I was involved with property management of the Valencia Town Center.
When not working, I enjoy traveling and spending my free time with my wife, young daughter and friends, who will tell you that I’m am always up for a game of basketball.
