20 Years Air Force. 3 Energetic Boys. Your #1 San Antonio Real Estate Ally.

Look, I get it. Moving your family across the country—or just across town—is a massive operation. When you’re juggling PCS orders, clearing housing, and trying to figure out which Northside or Comal ISD school is best for your kids, you don’t just need a real estate agent. You need someone who has lived that exact mission.

I’m a retired United States Air Force Veteran with 20 years of honorable service, born and raised right here in San Antonio. I spent two decades leading Airmen across the globe and protecting families. Today, I use that same tactical precision, high-stakes negotiation, and fierce discipline to protect your equity and your peace of mind.

As the top military relocation and VA loan specialist in the entire San Antonio metroplex, I don't just help you buy a house—I secure your family's future.

From the Briefing Room to the Ball Field

When I’m not dominating the local real estate market for my clients, you’ll find me right here in the community coaching youth sports. As a proud dad to three energetic boys, I know firsthand what it takes to raise a family in this city. I know which neighborhoods have the best backyards for playing catch, where the safest cul-de-sacs are, and how to navigate the Texas property tax exemptions for disabled veterans to save your family thousands of dollars a year.

Why Work with the #1 Agent in Military City, USA?

In the military, we don't settle for 'average'—and you shouldn't either when buying or selling your home. Whether you are using your zero-down VA benefit to buy a Hill Country retreat in Boerne, a family home in Helotes, or selling your property before your next deployment, I’m in your corner.

You’ll get the market data you actually need, an aggressive advocate at the negotiation table, and a smooth, stress-free transition from boots-on-the-ground to keys-in-hand.

Serving others is who I am. If you’re looking for a reliable, elite Realtor who truly knows San Antonio and stands by our military community, I’d be honored to lead the way. Let’s get your family home.
