About me

Born to Filipino immigrant parents—a CPA and a Registered Nurse—I learned early that true success comes through serving others. My father's journey from orphan to self-made man taught me that leadership isn't about titles; it's about transformation and impact.

From my roots in Chicago's Humboldt Park to my current home in Coronado, San Diego, every step of my journey has deepened my commitment to servant leadership. My academic path through the University of Illinois and Loyola University Chicago, culminating in an Executive MBA, laid the foundation for my career. But life's real lessons—including surviving a stroke—taught me that our greatest privilege is the opportunity to lift others as we climb.

Today, I'm blessed to serve others through multiple channels, each chosen with purpose:

As a Dave Ramsey Preferred Coach, I walk alongside individuals on their journey to financial freedom, guiding them through the 7 Baby Steps with empathy and accountability.
Still licensed in California real estate, I work by referral to serve those buying or selling in Coronado and San Diego County, helping families build their foundations for generational wealth.
As a licensed health and life insurance agent appointed with Combined Insurance, I help individuals and families secure the right health and life coverage for their needs—with expanded carrier access through Back9 whenever a client's situation calls for more options.
As a Forum moderator, I facilitate transformative group coaching sessions where peer support creates lasting change.
My Pickleball PPR Certification allows me to inspire physical and mental recovery, especially meaningful to me as a stroke survivor.
Through Elite Life Designs, I offer 1:1 coaching to help clients gain clarity and build lives of intention and impact.

Each role I hold isn't just a business venture—it's a channel for service. Whether I'm coaching a client toward debt freedom, helping a family find the right health and life coverage, teaching pickleball to fellow stroke survivors, or helping a client secure their family's future, my mission remains constant: to serve, uplift, and transform.

This commitment to servant leadership isn't just what I do—it's who I am. It's reflected in my 5 Circle Methodology, which recognizes that true transformation touches every aspect of life: Spiritual, Financial, Business, Personal, and Family.

My greatest blessing is sharing this journey with my wife, Myleen, and our children, who remind me daily that our legacy is measured not by what we achieve, but by how many lives we touch.
