I consistently maintained a 30% close and 5k vpg. It was around 2008 that I was asked to become a T.O. or ASM. and began closing Deals and Mentoring the team, as well as training. I was privileged to have the chance to Mentor and shape the direction, and success of the likes of Ray Amiri, Justin Sizelove, Shannon Mann, Salem Salem, Mike Miller and many others that have become Leaders throughout our Company.

In 2012 I Moved my family to Cabo San Lucas Mexico, working for Villa Group, I was promoted from fronter to closer on my second day on the sales line, and became the top closer for Villa Group.
