I was born and raised in Colombia, where my love for baseball began at a young age. At 16, I was drafted by the San Diego Padres, which set me on a path that would lead to a life-changing opportunity. At 17, I came to the United States to pursue my dream, starting my career in the minor leagues with the San Diego Padres. Seven years of hard work and dedication paid off when I made it to the Major Leagues. Over my 10-season MLB career, I played for teams such as the Padres, Angels, Pirates, Rays, and Rangers. Each experience on the field taught me invaluable lessons in perseverance, teamwork, and the importance of maintaining a strong mindset, all of which have shaped who I am today. I retired from professional baseball in 2018, closing one chapter of my life while opening another. In 2020, I transitioned into the mortgage industry, eager to bring the same level of commitment and drive that I had in baseball to this new field. My journey in the mortgage business began on the wholesale side, where I quickly gained a deep understanding of the industry. Recently, I shifted to the retail side, broadening my expertise and ability to serve clients from various angles. Licensed by NMLS (2075062), I am dedicated to delivering exceptional service and building lasting relationships with my clients. My goal is to guide them through the homeownership process with the same focus and determination that helped me succeed in baseball.
