I was born in Zurich, Switzerland, and raised in Alicante, Spain. Since I was a child, I felt that the world had more to offer than what I saw at the time. At age 19 I came to the United States and began my career as a Real Estate Salesperson and then as a Broker with The Deltona Corporation selling residential properties in Southwest Florida to the New York market place. I quickly became a top producer with the company. In 1991 I joined Avatar Corporation and I worked with them until May 1996 when I founded Sunbelt Sales & Development Corporation, as a result of the dissolution of the land sales division for that Company.
