🎀 💜 October is a month of awareness — but awareness is only the beginning.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month reminds us to pay attention to our health, encourage the people we love to get checked, and stand beside those whose lives have been changed by cancer.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month reminds us that abuse can happen to anyone, that survivors deserve to be heard and supported, and that knowing the signs can help us recognize when someone may need us to step in. 💜

Different causes. Different experiences. But one common thread:

Compassion. Education. Action.

Because caring isn’t just about knowing something exists. It’s about being willing to listen, learn, speak up, check in, and show up.

October gives us the reminder. What we do with it is up to all of us. ❤️

Outside of work, I live a very active life with my wonderful wife and our three outstanding children. Between family time, traveling, exploring new places, and keeping up with everyone’s activities, there’s never a dull moment. I’m especially passionate about travel—it truly energizes me, and I love learning about new countries and cultures. I also train in Brazilian Jiu‐Jitsu, which has taught me patience, dedication, and the importance of continually challenging myself.

I hold a bachelor’s degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara, where I built a strong foundation in insurance and retirement readiness services. As a proud Palma Alumni, I’m committed to providing exceptional service and expertise to the communities I serve.

Over the course of my career, I’ve been honored with several industry recognitions, including Ambassador Travel Qualifier, Legion of Honor, and Silver Scroll, reflecting a consistent focus on customer service and professional excellence. I assist customers with a wide range of needs, with a special focus on Life Insurance, Auto Insurance, and Financial Services, helping create realistic plans designed to support long‐term financial stability.
