Mike is a California native, growing up in Glendora. He started reading the L.A. Times at 12 years old & continues today. This, along with his excellent reading & retention ability, attributes to his excellent knowledge of keeping up with the heartbeat of the real estate market. He began working in machine shops at $2.25/hour. It was very structured & demanding. With his work ethic, he soon rose to supervisor at $23.00/hour with free medical insurance & 4 weeks +13 holiday paid vacation. That would be great even in today’s times! He bought a house, 850 SF, in Moreno Valley for $63,000. But, Mike knew there was something better for him. He began his next career in Real Estate.
