As a Mortgage Loan Originator, my top priority is customer service—guiding clients through one of the most important financial decisions of their lives with clarity, transparency, and care. Every borrower’s situation is unique, and I am committed to listening closely, understanding individual needs, and delivering solutions that make sense today and for the future.
My approach to problem solving was forged through a lifetime of service and experience. I began my career as a U.S. Air Force aircraft electrician, working on A-10s and F-16s, where attention to detail and reliability were non-negotiable. I then spent decades in the technology industry, leading projects and solving complex challenges for businesses, governments, and law enforcement. Those experiences taught me how to diagnose problems, create practical solutions, and keep operations running smoothly under pressure.
With first-hand experience as a Realtor, I understand the full picture of a real estate transaction from both sides. This perspective allows me to better serve my clients, coordinate effectively with agents, and ensure that the lending process supports—not hinders—the home buying journey.
Whether you are purchasing your first home, upgrading to meet new needs, or refinancing to achieve financial goals, I bring the same dedication to excellence, problem solving, and client care that have defined my entire career. My mission is simple: make the process as smooth as possible, keep you informed every step of the way, and earn your trust for life.
