During and after that time, Kate served in many different roles focusing on education and childcare. She serves TEAM SMOKE using many skills gleaned from her background, ensuring our students experience the connectedness of the Triibe and are cared-for in a personalized way.

I started my journey in real estate back in 2011 and shortly after decided to get licensed. After working as a real estate agent/transaction coordinator for over eight years, I truly understand how important it is to stay fluid in a transaction when it can change at any given moment. My past experience as an agent has given me the knowledge and perspective needed to help agents serve their buyers and sellers. I know how important it is to be both detail oriented and responsive, and I am up for any challenge.
The last three years have brought many milestones. We had our first child Dylan who has changed my world. We also purchased our first home this year, and I am currently working on getting my Brokers license to further my education and knowledge in this industry. During my free time, I love to read, play with my baby & dog, and hangout at the beach.
Marc started his career in Los Angeles Radio, working on a show called the Riki Rachtman Radio Show on KLSX. He began broadcasting the daily surf report then slowly emerged as a significant
on-air personality. It was during this time that the radio show gave a little band their first LA drive-time interview. That band was Blink-182.
A year later Marc was asked by MCA records to go on a world tour with Blink-182 to put together short and long formatted video projects documenting the bands life on the road. Marc went on to create hundreds of social media videos that have been viewed by millions. He also directed the long format Blink-182 documentary titled, “Urethra Chronicles 2, Harder Faster, Faster, Harder.” That documentary went on to receive Platinum status, over 500k units sold.
Marc eventually went on to create video projects for almost every major record label in LA and NY and worked frequently with MTV, VHI and European music channels. Eventually Marc moved on and set his sights to realty TV. His most memorable stint was 5 seasons with DANCING WITH THE STARS, as a Field Producer. He produced pieces with celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Juliann Huff, Kelly Osborne, Steve – O and Steve Woznick. When a unique opportunity presented itself on the island of Kauai a new adventure began.
He helped create a TV show focusing on climate change funded by NOAA and the University of Hawaii. Marc was the Lead Editor for 8 years and received several Telly Awards for his editing. 8 years later when Marc and his family returned, they landed in San Diego. He began working for a medium sized advertising agency in Los Angeles, Wingman Advertising, creating radio and TV commercials and directing product videos for major companies such as SIT N SLEEP. Still, to this day, once a year Marc and his hand-picked commercial production team create high-end product videos for the mattress power-house.Marc has since created his own company, BrandGo Media where he focuses on cinematography and photography exclusively for the real estate industry in San Diego and beyond.
Are you interested in passive income through real estate investing, but feel overwhelmed by the amount of information on the subject? Or do you just want to explore the benefits of investing without commitment? If so, let's connect!
I help people realize the advantages that come with real estate investing without the headache of doing it themselves! As a real estate agent investing in properties myself, I understand the challenges and uncertainties that come along with these kinds of investments. It can feel confusing and difficult. I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to be.
My goal is to understand your financial goals and see if passive multifamily real estate investments might be a good fit for you. We do all of the work so our investors can sit back and enjoy the benefits of these investments without having to become an expert in it. I'll be there to guide you through the process, helping you learn along the way.
As a Marine Corps veteran, I understand how essential it is to build a team to accomplish objectives. Nobody accomplishes great things alone. I thrive in leadership positions and am constantly looking for ways to improve myself, processes and the people around me. I am passionate about giving back to the veteran community through financial education, self-development and community involvement.
I'm truly passionate about inspiring and encouraging others. If you feel I could be of assistance or provide value to you, please reach out and let me know! How can I help YOU move towards your goals?

After a professional detour into human resources followed by taking time off to stay home with my young children, I returned to real estate. I’m blessed to be part of this amazing team of knowledgeable real estate professionals.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, hiking, game nights, and getting out to enjoy everything that San Diego has to offer. My passions outside of real estate are nutrition, fitness and maternal health.
