SCV Hometown Property Management was started right here in the Santa Clarita Valley, with one idea: owners and tenants both deserve a management company that actually picks up the phone. That same approach now reaches down the coast to Ventura, Oxnard, Carpinteria, and Santa Barbara.
I started SCV Hometown because too many rental owners in this valley were stuck choosing between managing a property themselves or handing it off to a company that treats every home like a file number. I wanted something in between — real local knowledge, straightforward communication, and someone who actually answers when you call. We've since grown to serve owners along the coast in Ventura, Oxnard, Carpinteria, and Santa Barbara, without losing that hometown approach.
I've lived in the Santa Clarita Valley since 1974 — over 50 years now — so this is home, not just a service area. Before SCV Hometown, I spent more than 30 years as a producer and studio executive in the entertainment industry, running production facilities and managing budgets, teams, and client relationships at a high level. I'm also a co-owner of Thermal Horizons Yoga and Wellness Center right here in the valley.
Whether you own one rental or a few, my goal is simple: protect the property, keep good tenants in it, and make sure you always know what's going on with your investment.

I joined Ben at SCV Hometown because I saw how much better property management could be when you pair local people who care with tools that actually make life easier for owners and tenants. Owners shouldn't have to chase down a statement or wonder what's happening with their property, and tenants shouldn't have to wait days to hear back about a repair.
I was born at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and have lived in the Santa Clarita Valley for 40 years, so this is home, not just a service area. I started my career solving software problems, and over the last decade the work grew well past code. I've built streaming platforms that bring video to mobile devices, TVs and tablets around the world, which meant solving engineering problems at scale. Leading teams through that growth meant solving people problems too.
I also love working with my hands, and to me fixing something around the house and engineering software come from the same place: find the real problem and build a fix that lasts. When I'm not working, you'll find me camping and enjoying the outdoors.
My goal is simple: give owners a clear, real-time view of their property and their money, make it easy for tenants to get things fixed, and treat everyone we work with like a neighbor.
