I was raised in Ventura, California and went to school at Mills School, De Anza Junior High, Ventura High school, Ventura College, and graduated from Chico State University with a BS in Marketing and Management.

I am married with three children and have lived in Montecito and Summerland for the last 36 years. I am a member of the Rancheros Visitadores, Los Pobres Rancheros, and past member of the Santa Barbara Trail Riders. In addition to being a Captain for over 45 years, I have been involved with the charter boat business for the last 45 years and own a charter boat business at Channel Islands Harbor. Hence, this is where I get my nickname, Capt.Don.

I was involved in real estate after graduating from college and worked with Atwater Real Estate in Ventura for several years. I recently became a Realtor with Village Properties. I'm looking forward in assisting you with your real estate needs including residential, ranches, and business opportunities.
