Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
First I attended Pepperdine University.
Then I met Mike and Nate of Roadtrip Nation.
Then I played waterpolo at Pepperdine and went on to play waterpolo professionally in Australia.
After returning from Australia I took a job with my Dad's MRI company in Palm Desert, CA.
After a couple years of working on computers and learning how to manage peoples expectations
I then was offered a position as an Energy Consultant selling residential solar for HelioPower Solar.
I have been selling solar since 2008 and since then have sold over $9 million in solar.
Which has helped me to start a family with my beautiful wife in 2005 and we now have 3 children.
