Who Runs This

Here's Who You're Trusting With Your Property

I'm a native San Diegan, which seems to be a less common thing these days in our growing city. My two sons were raised here and are both in college now. This is home. When I'm not working, you can find me at the gym, running through Little Italy and along the harbor, or spending time with friends and family.

I earned my bachelor's degree at San Diego State, then went on to graduate school at Cal State San Marcos and the University of San Diego, where I earned my master's in education and studied educational leadership.

I spent nearly 20 years as an educator and school leader in San Diego, including time as principal at The Monarch School, serving students experiencing homelessness. Running schools taught me that clear systems and direct communication are how you take care of people. Not optional. Foundational.

I carried that into property management. I grew my last company to over 300 doors before selling my share. That decade taught me what works in San Diego and what falls apart when no one is paying attention.

I built Best Nest on both of those backgrounds. The operations knowledge comes from managing hundreds of doors. The system's thinking comes from running schools where nothing worked unless it worked for everyone. And as a real estate investor myself, I understand what's at stake when someone else handles your asset.

Why We Do This

Built to Do Property Management Better

We protect your investment so you can reclaim your time. That means honest communication, systems that run whether you're watching or not, decisions rooted in data and discipline, and maintenance that prevents problems before they grow. When things get uncomfortable, we stay accountable.

Your property isn't just another door in a portfolio. It's an asset we protect, a responsibility we take seriously, and a relationship we intend to keep.

Our Core Values

What We Stand For

Handling the day-to-day expertly so our owners can build for tomorrow.

Process Over Panic

When something goes wrong, there's already a plan. Clear systems replace last-minute scrambling. Owners don't get reactive phone calls or rushed decisions. They get steady updates, clear next steps, and confidence that it's being handled correctly.

Skip the Shortcut. Play the Long Game.

Every recommendation is made with long-term ownership in mind. Decisions are weighed for durability, cost over time, and overall impact. We protect your property's value by choosing patience and foresight over quick fixes.

Trust: Our Most Expensive Asset

Trust is built through honesty, accountability, and clear communication, even when the truth is uncomfortable. We tell you what's really happening, what the options are, and what the tradeoffs look like. Long-term relationships matter more than short-term wins.
