About

Former executive and business owner offering a variety of financial support to business owners

I began my career after graduating cum laude from UCLA with a BA in Economics in 1984. After a short period as an assistant merchandise manager for a national neckwear manufacturer, I joined my father in establishing a men’s accessories manufacturing and distribution company. Abba Accessories, Inc. operated from 1984 until it’s closing at the end of 2003. During that time, I was the Vice-President from 1984 through 1998 and President and CEO from 1999 to 2003.

In 2004, I made a career change and began a 9-year period as a mortgage banker. From 2004 through middle of 2012, I worked for First Horizon Home Loans, Salem Five Mortgage Company and Washington Trust bank, respectively. I worked with residential real estate agents, home builders and mortgage customers directly to close over $227 million in residential loans.

In 2012, I took a break from the business world and became a chef and kitchen manager for a group of residential substance abuse treatment centers in the Los Angeles area. I was able to combine my passion for cooking with his commitment to helping those who suffer from the disease of addiction and alcoholism.

In October 2015, the treatment centers, Axis Residential Treatment, offered me an opportunity to move back into the business side. For 3 years, I was the EVP -Finance & Operations, responsible for all financial and operational aspects of the group of treatment centers. Upon it's closing, I began doing consulting work, in and out of that industry.

My current projects include contract work as a controller for a computer gaming company.

I live in Reseda, CA with my girlfriend and amazing dog Baylee. I still enjoy cooking and you will find me beside my grill on most weekends!
