Born and raised in San Diego, Theo developed a passion for real estate through his hands-on experience in construction, entrepreneurship and development.

Theo also founded his own avocado business, selling locally grown avocados throughout downtown San Diego and at local farmers markets. Being the first in his family to attend college has shaped his strong work ethic and passion for creating opportunities for others. He hopes to break into real estate development with a long-term goal of building safe, beautiful and affordable housing throughout San Diego.
