I have been in Sales for over thirty years, I am in my thirties and I really mean that. I have been in sales my whole life. If you think about it, we have all truly been in sales for our entire lives. Human interaction is Sales. Well, at least good human interaction is. Now, in my opinion most sales people suck. They are only in it for themselves, I do not believe it is their fault entirely, half of the fault falls on not being trained or on boarded correctly. I have a passion to professionally, and personally transform your life. I can tell you all about my many years of working in sales, being a top sales manager, then transitioning to becoming a top Sales trainer for T-Mobile and Forest Lawn two leading companies in their prospective industries, I can also tell you how I have helped start ups transform sales positively and how I created and implemented new selling approaches that shortened the sales cycle by 50%. I have the qualifications, I am confident of that but what matters to me more is that you know I care!!!! The reason is I care is because people in my life cared for me when I needed it most, which led me to be open to actually and truly transforming, so here is my story.

My parents had me when they were sixteen years old. My mother and father both chose the hard path, to be teenage parents, I respect that and thank God for that grace. They both came from lower income families. When I was born on December 24th, 1986 my mom moved into the government projects below China Town here in Los Angeles with my dad and my grandparents. Gangs surrounded my father and he boldly moved my mom and myself out of that environment. He worked multiple jobs and soon after my birth my mom started working as well.

I grew up in a decent home, my parents loved me, my younger brother Adam and my younger sister Romana. I did experience the roughness of watching two young kids struggling to raise a family. They fought a lot, both came from families without a good father figure.
I’m grateful for what my parents did for us. One of the things I am grateful for is my father put me into sports at an early age of 5. He helped transform me into a discipline athlete.  I fell in love! However, I ran into the struggle and discrimination of not being the biggest or strongest. An issue I fought against my whole athletic career.

Fast forward to my freshman year of high school, a very critical year of my life. I went against my mom’s genuine concerns for my life to play football and I tried out for the team. I was very close to not playing considering, I stood only 4’11 and was a heavy 98 lbs. I also met the love of my life Gina. My girlfriend and football were my life, I did also play baseball and ran track and field. My senior year came along, and I was a whopping 127 lbs. and 5’6, a late bloomer for sure. Through the guidance, and leadership of Coach Wahl I transformed into a confident, hardworking varsity football captain and gratefully was recruited to play football at the University of La Verne.

I navigated most of my life through trial and error, I didn’t have a concrete set of principles or absolutes. This hindered me and impaired me in many ways. My high school sweetheart and girlfriend stuck with me all the way through, even in bad times. After my freshman year my father told me he would not be able to pay for my school as he had planned to. This led me to have to switch from part time work to full time work and I had to take out a bunch of private loans. Along this path I was led to a business organization to “get rich”. The crazy thing is the wealth I gained wasn’t only monetarily I gained absolutes, good principles and found men I could emulate. This organization taught me a couple vital things. One, I am responsible for everything going on in my life. Two I can change my life through growth, learning and seeking the truth.

A few years after 2009 when school was put on the back burner, I found myself at the darkest lowest part of my life. During this time God spoke to my soul, I knew it was not where He wanted me to be. Honestly, it wasn’t where I wanted to be. While in this low place I prayed and studied a ton. I knew I only needed three things. I needed my God, my loving girlfriend, and I wanted to change, I wanted to become more, I desired true transformation. 

Love and compassion were in my girlfriend Gina’ s heart, she was there willing and through unconditional love, transformed my life. I went to work! I dove into my bible, prayed like crazy I also read Wild at Heart and many, many, many other books around becoming a better man. I was on a mission to be what God called me to be. Along this journey of growth and change the idea of Transformational Trainer was placed on my hart, I want to help change and transform lives for the better. Through God’s grace, love and direction, within a year I was engaged to my girlfriend, my high school sweetheart, and since we have been blessed with two healthy beautiful girls Sicily and Alithea.

Transformational Training is my passion it’s a constant reminder of who I want to be, who I’m called to be and how God will use me to call others to significance.
