I’m a Florida Boy in the truest sense of the word. I have sun in my heart and sand in my shoes. I’ve always had a special connection with the ocean and with the people who live by it. Through high school and college, whatever job I had, I always found time to break away for surf and travel.

That’s not to say I didn’t work hard for the good life. Early on in my career I realized that if I wanted to achieve positive results, I had to work hard to accomplish my goals. So I pursued my professional passion – sales and entrepreneurism – and I worked in investor relations industry for the stock market for over 15 years. I’ve managed firms, opened new locations, trained teams of representatives and sales floors, even owned my own firm and I’m proud to say that I achieved a track record of success at virtually every place I’ve worked. Yet all those awards and urban high life weren’t a substitute for the sun and water. In 2011 my brother and his wife moved to Ecuador and I began to make trips to visit them.

One visit and I understood why they moved. The ocean, the climate and the wonderful culture were exactly what I had been dreaming of. So when my brother called and told me about an investment property he heard about I jumped at the opportunity. Over the next year, myself and my two business partners bought and sold two more large properties. It was then that the “light bulb” really went off, I saw the true potential of the country’s West coast and the decision was made to live here full time. Happily for me, my longtime partner and new Fiance (and now wife) Tiffany was equally enthusiastic, so we started our new adventure and relocated together.

It wasn’t long before we became well versed with Ecuador’s real estate market, especially the area around Manta where we now live. All along this coast we’ve made local friends and key business/political connections as we’ve progressed to be the premiere agency in town . We’ve learned where, how and when to rent, lease, buy or sell a wide variety of real estate from condos and homes to raw land. If it’s on beach, we know how to help you!

Today, we are the absolute #1 top producing and most recommended expat real estate company in the greater Manta area. I work as hard as I ever did, but I love it that much more! Instead of an intense rush hour drive to work downtown, before breakfast I sneak in an hour of surfing on the beach behind our condo. Instead of the high pressure sales of the stock market, I help people find their dream locations to live and invest on the coast. And instead of wondering why the world can’t get along, I enjoy international cultural diversity everyday!
