A Lifetime in the
Foothill Communities
Born and raised in La Verne, Nick attended local public schools before earning his bachelor’s degree from San Diego State University. Moreover, while completing his studies, he obtained his real estate license and made the intentional decision to return home to build his career in the community that shaped him. As a result, Nick brings firsthand knowledge of the neighborhoods, schools, and community dynamics that influence property values throughout the San Gabriel Valley foothill corridor — insight that no out-of-area agent can replicate.
Nick and his wife, Jami, married in 2013, are raising their two children, Gia and Enzo, in La Verne schools. Additionally, with both of his parents still residing locally, Nick is deeply rooted in the foothill community and committed to serving it for years to come.
