San Diego, California, United States
I’ve spent over three decades building at the intersection of capital, entrepreneurship, and opportunity — across finance, real estate, food, and consumer goods. As Principal of Walket Capital, I oversee a diversified family office spanning venture capital, private equity, and real estate. My work is about more than returns — it’s about identifying the right people, the right ideas, and the right moment to act with conviction. As a Partner at Performance Wealth Investments, we own and operate a diversified commercial real estate portfolio — office buildings, industrial complexes, commercial property, and land — across the US. Current developments include La Terra Estates, an exclusive luxury estate community in Los Gatos, California, at the heart of Silicon Valley. As Financial Advisor at LM Advisors, I work with succeaful individuals and families to build and protect wealth across generations. Beyond capital markets, I co-founded Downtown Works — a coworking, incubator, and accelerator community in San Diego — because I believe in building ecosystems where entrepreneurs can thrive. I also co-founded Ladera Quality Meats, which has grown from a quality meats operation into a multinational, multi-protein trading company with offices in the US and Mexico. We’ve expanded into consumer packaged goods — including rolled tacos, crispbreads, and square puffs — bringing quality and innovation to the everyday table. I bring a global perspective shaped by my roots in Mexico City, my finance and marketing education at Universidad Iberoamericana, and executive investment training at The Wharton School. I build companies. I deploy capital. I connect people. If you’re working on something exceptional, let’s talk.
