Prior to entering real estate, Julian studied Business and Finance at San Francisco State University while spending several years working in hospitality throughout San Francisco. There, he developed a deep appreciation for interpersonal communication, genuine connection, and the level of care required to deliver memorable experiences.

He later joined the Caroline K. Huo Group, working alongside Caroline Huo, Luxury Division Leader of Keller Williams International and Director of Professional Development.
