About

Now, if you're more into the traditional braggy vanity metrics around success, I'm an Inc. 500 CEO, ranked number 40 in Inc. 500 in 2007, with 2500% plus revenue growth in three years of my business, Twin Capital Mortgage. I was ranked #9 in Glassdoor's Top Ranked CEO's in America for small to medium businesses. I have participated in many great programs, such as Birthing of Giants at MIT, Gathering of Titans at MIT, and I am a graduate of the World Renowned Stagen Integral Leadership Program.I've spoken on some big stages. I was a TEDx curator. I did TEDx Golden Gate Park in 2011 and 2012 at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. I'm a crazy mad scientist CEO. I've grown companies from startup to just under a thousand employees in under three years, and I'm an expert at core values. I am very proud of my book, The Core Value Equation. If none of that impresses you, so be it.I can make a damn good pizza, and my last meal on earth will be a pepperoni pizza from Pizzetta 211 in San Francisco with a cheese board salad, a slice of flourless chocolate cake, hand-whipped cream and with a Blue Moon beer. Peace. I love you.My purpose is to live a poetic life – a life of true engagement that helps others learn and reach their potential.What do you want to know about me? I'm a dad, husband, twin, brother, and son. I am grateful to have such an amazing family who loves me despite my loco craziness—born and raised in Cali. Now I live in Austin, Texas. I'm a serial entrepreneur, author, conscious capitalist, speaker, and entertainer. I'm all about the P's: Passion, Pizza, Puzzles, and especially Pink Unicorns. I am all about creating greatness in the world.My passion is to make the world a better place, using my talents and engagement. My top six core values are happiness, which I call heart. Love, which I call Besos. Passion, which I call "Eye of the Tiger. Curiosity, which I call Cinco. Creativity, which I call BOOM. Last but not least, balance, which I call Movie Night. The reason I call it that is because my family and I watch movies together every Friday night.Book:The Core Value EquationLinks:WebsiteInstagramFacebookYouTube
