As a Southern California native, Michael understands firsthand what a privilege it is to live and work in the most dynamic, beautiful, and prosperous state in the nation, California. That's why Michael has made it his career mission to help any and all achieve their California real estate dreams in a manner specifically tailored to their individual goals and aspirations.
Raised in Yorba Linda, Michael has an intimate familiarity with the local community as he attended Travis Ranch and Esperanza High School where he was actively involved in both tennis and basketball. Later he attended the University of California, Riverside where he earned his bachelor's degree in Philosophy and minor in Business Administration.
After college, Michael worked in management at the local Yorba Linda Costco prior to attending Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, where he earned his J.D., receiving a graduation award in commercial law and a course award in negotiations. Michael then passed the California bar exam and practiced as a civil litigation attorney at two Southern California law firms, handling business, real estate, employment, probate, and personal injury matters, where he honed the negotiation and advocacy skills he now brings to his clients.
An active member of the California State Bar, Michael expanded into real estate to put that legal and business background to work in his own community, joining ERA North Orange County Real Estate in Yorba Linda. For his clients, that means contracts, disclosures, and negotiations handled by someone who has spent his career on exactly those issues.
Michael is married to his lovely wife Victoria in which they share three beautiful children: Eva, Noah, and Ezra. When he is not delivering for his clients, he and his family regularly attend church at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills. Michael hopes that one day his prayers are answered so that one of his children comes to love tennis as much as he does!
