I’m a former D1 college athlete focusing on my career as a businessman, trying to make sure I can help protect small businesses and their employees. Growing up I moved around all over the midwest - living in four states before the age of 11 - with the rest of my childhood being in San Diego, CA. After graduating from Torrey Pines High School, I played rugby for The Ohio State University, becoming a 2x Big Ten Champion and being awarded the 2024 Big Ten Conference Most Valuable Player. I have been involved in leadership and recruitment throughout both my high school and university careers. Additionally, I have experience as a Sales Agent for Colonial Life.
My hobbies include: staying fit, trying new foods, and watching movies. Though, my favorite thing to do in the professional world is meeting new people and establishing friendships with peers that I have much respect for.

I am originally from Columbus, GA and joined the Marine Corps immediately after graduating from High School. During my years of service, I worked in Administration, alongside of Infantry, Artillery, and Marine Wing Support Squadrons. I also assisted with the supervision of 250 reservists and participated in the Desert Shield Desert Storm campaign. After getting out of the military, I worked in security doing close protection for celebrities, artists, and a few private clients. I eventually started my own security company as the President and CEO. During that time, I appeared on a reality TV show on MTV called “Rob and Big” that lasted three seasons. Soon after the show ended, I decided to leave that lifestyle behind to pursue more spiritual avenues and adventures.
My hobbies are service to Jehovah God, doing ministry work in different areas of the world, weight training, and spending time with family and friends.

I was born in Mexico City and emigrated to the United States at the age of ten. Lived in Texas until the age of eighteen, when I decided to join the United States Marine Corps. During my ten years of service, I worked as a Human Resources and Administrative Specialist. I lead, mentored, and supervised medical separations, retirements, as well as all training pertaining to the military personnel in my charge. My last assignment while in the Marine Corps was a Marine Corps Recruiter in Fort Worth, TX. Afterwards, my family and I decided it was time for me to transition to a different path.
I wanted to spend time with my three children, Liliana, Carlos, and Yaretzi. I spent five years as a stay-at-home mom, caring for our family and attending Community College. In late 2023, I decided it was time for me to become my own person again outside of mother and wife. Focusing on a role similar to my experience in the military. I connected with Michael Clark, and we have created an amazing team.
My hobbies include dancing, spending time with my family, and combat sports. I am enthusiastic about helping people, learning about my indigenous heritage, and becoming a positive role model that my children can look up to.
