As a veteran of mortgage lending, I have been a leader in the mortgage industry for over 13 years. During those years, I’ve helped many families realize their dreams of becoming homeowners, which can be challenging in an always-changing market.

I’ve built strong relationships with realtors and builders because of my ability to leverage the customer’s strengths and overcome obstacles. They want the best for their clients and they know I do, too.
