Ricky's Bio
NMLS #1407791
Loan Officer
My goal is to make the home buying process as seamless and stress-free as possible. I tell my clients that I will go above and beyond to make sure their needs are taken care of. I do my best to accomplish this by thoroughly explaining all the steps involved, always having an open line of communication and, having an unmatched level of transparency. I take this same approach when working with Real Estate Agents on a transaction. I feel it’s important to always make sure we have one common goal: To take care of the client.
Before becoming a Loan Officer, I played professional baseball for 11 years. I was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 2002 out of the University of San Diego. I also played in the Major Leagues in Japan. Baseball had allowed my wife and I to travel all over the country. We lived in Tokyo, Japan and Caracas, Venezuela among other places. We were so lucky to have experienced so much in our travels. We settled back in West Sacramento, where I grew up. I attended McClatchy high school and graduated in 1999.
My wife, Olivia, is a Real Estate agent. We have two children. Seven-year-old Leah and three-year-old Dominic. We love taking them to Tahoe in the winter time, and to the beach in the Summer.. We have been doing that for the last 5 years. When I get some free time, I love going to the gym and golfing. I’m also a car fanatic and attend many Auto events in the Sacramento area.
