Ivan grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. After earning his BA at the University of California, Santa Cruz, with a double-major in English and History, he went on to complete his MBA at San Jose State University.
For the past 20+ years, Ivan had sold security hardware, software, and cloud solutions at Secure Computing Corporation (now McAfee) and Cisco Systems. His clients were primarily large, Fortune 500 enterprise customers, which required strong knowledge of product, service, and exemplary customer support. He had repeatedly exceeded sales goals and received distinguished awards for recognition throughout my career.
After Ivan transitioned from high tech to embark on his real estate business, he had a vision to brand himself as the “networked” realtor. Ivan’s goal is to be the “go-to” source for prospects and clients on who to ask for business professionals—no matter where they choose to move in the USA.
In February 2021, Ivan founded a local chapter of Business Network International (BNI.com) in San Jose. The trusted advisors in his new chapter are exemplary in providing legal, financial, fiduciary, and professional services to clients. He is honored to work and interact with this solid team!
Ivan’s family and he reside in San Jose. He often enjoys bike rides and hikes with his family. When Ivan has free time, he also contributes to publications as a freelance journalist about upcoming electric vehicles. He also serves as a volunteer to local charity events in the SF Bay Area.
