A native of Laguna Niguel, California, Dave grew up immersed in the coastal lifestyle of South Orange County.

His deep understanding of the market, combined with a client-first mentality, earned him a stellar reputation among property owners and investors.

In 2023, Dave elevated his career by obtaining his broker’s license and founding Sea Glass Property Management. This venture reflects his commitment to providing personalized, high-quality property management services tailored to the unique needs of South Orange County’s property owners. From tenant relations to property maintenance and financial oversight, Dave handles every aspect with precision and care, ensuring peace of mind for his clients.

Now based in San Clemente with his wife, Candace, and their two children, Dave remains deeply connected to the region he serves. When he’s not managing properties, you might find him mountain biking rugged trails, sailing along the coast, diving into the ocean, or hitting the ski slopes. Dave’s passion for adventure is matched only by his dedication to his family, community, and the real estate industry he loves.
