    As a former Health and Physical Education teacher and coach, my passion has always been helping people learn and make confident decisions. I bring that same educator’s mindset to mortgage lending by simplifying the home-buying process and guiding clients through their options every step of the way. 

    Whether you’re purchasing your first home, building, refinancing, or investing, my goal is to make the mortgage experience clear, personalized, and stress-free. I firmly believe that informed clients become confident homeowners, and I’m dedicated to earning your trust through education, open communication, and exceptional service.

    Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Carly, and our two sons, Brexton and Beckem. You’ll often find me staying active through fitness and sports, tackling DIY home projects, attending concerts, or cheering on my favorite teams at sporting events.

    Whether you’re buying your first home or your forever home, I’m here to educate, guide, and help you make confident decisions every step of the way. Let’s make your homeownership journey a smooth and rewarding experience!
