Professional Bio

A seasoned leader with over 35 years of entrepreneurial experience, I bring a unique blend of business acumen and industry expertise to the real estate and finance sectors. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering and an MBA, foundations that have fueled a long and successful career across both retail and wholesale industries.

In 2004, I expanded my professional journey into real estate and finance, earning my broker licenses and founding Axis Finance Inc., operating under the dba’s Prime One Realty and Prime One Loans. Over the past 21 years, I’ve led our firm with a clear vision—delivering exceptional service and results.

Today, I oversee a dynamic team of nine dedicated real estate agents. Together, we’ve completed countless real estate transactions and facilitated hundreds of home loans. Our consistent success is a testament to our deep industry knowledge, client-first approach, and commitment to excellence in an ever-evolving, competitive market.
