Growing up in Las Vegas during the 2000's and experiencing a significant land development boom (and subsequent crash) as a teenager, peaked my interest in housing and development. I put that interest on the backburner as I pursued education and a career in Operations Management and Information Systems graduating with a dual bachelor's degree in such from the University of Utah. Upon graduation purchased my first income producing property re-kindling my interest in real estate. After moving to Texas and acquiring a couple additional properties, I decided to take my interest to the next level and pursue a Master's of Land and Property Development from Texas A&M. Although my path in real estate has yet to be defined, my education and passion will undoubtedly lead the way into professional and entrepreneurial opportunities in the future.
I am currently employed at Southwest Airlines and have been for 7+ years. Aviation has also been a passion of mine since my first plane ride to Washington DC during spring break of my Junior year of High School. I started with SWA as a Ramp Agent in Vegas, quit for schooling and a church proselyting mission, later interned in college, then came back full-time after college.
Outside of work I am heavily involved in my church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, where I am the leader of the adult men's group in our congregation (ward) and help members and families meet their spiritual and temporal needs.
Next to Family, Work, School and Church I have taken up distance running, having completed a 50K ultra marathon, 5 full marathons, 7 half marathons and various shorter race distances. Aside from running my physical exercise includes weight training and lots of sports such as football and basketball. I am a passionate college football fan and involved in the local Alumni Association chapter at the University of Utah.
Completing my fastest (and 3rd) half marathon, The Cowtown 2020.
