I've had an experienced and diversified background in the real estate, mortgage, and development fields for the past 30+ years. I've assisted with the funding and sales of several hundred million dollars' worth of residential, commercial, and construction loan transactions and properties throughout my career at various office locations in Orange (my hometown of Huntington Beach), Los Angeles (near Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades - a long-time resident here), and Riverside counties (Rancho Mirage and near Canyon Lake).

I've held eight (8) different real estate, securities, and mortgage brokerage licenses to date. I've been interviewed as the main guest on various television and radio shows over the years. I'm also a University of Southern California (USC) graduate who studied Economics and Real Estate Finance. In later years, I wrote many of these same courses for college students and for real estate licensees.

I've created entire real estate courses and college textbooks (residential and commercial real estate, legal, and mortgage topics) for some of the best-known real estate schools and educational firms in the state and nation (30+ states), including the Top 2 largest real estate educational firms in America; the first online California real estate school; and the oldest real estate school in California. Because I write the real estate courses for real estate and financial professionals, I can effectively work with them and their clients throughout the entire purchase or listing transactions.

Between 1998 and 2008, I was the most published author for AD Kessler's Creative Real Estate Magazine. For the May 2006 cover story, the same national publication featured me on the cover under the heading of A Creative Financier for their main story that month. This publication was one of the most famous national real estate publications in America over the past 50 years.

Please look for my articles on Creative Real Estate Online (I was their most published author for at least five years; CRE Online, which is not affiliated with Creative Real Estate Magazine, was generally considered as one of the top real estate investing websites in America for many years - www.creonline.com), REI Wealth Monthly {a highly respected digital real estate and investment magazine specifically designed for Apple products such as the iPad, iPhone, and iPod (http://reiwealthmag.com/blog/)}, the REI (Real Estate Investing) Club website (www.reiclub.com), Realty 411 Magazine (http://www.realty411.com), Think Realty https://thinkrealty.com/, and The Scotsman Guide (www.scotsmanguide.com - this has been ranked as the #1 most read mortgage publication in America).

I also lead the So-Cal Real Estate Investing group which meets at Canyon Lake Golf & Country Club and online. You may find the group at www.socalrealestateclub.com.
