Helping people make one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives, and knowing I played a small part in that, is what keeps me going. I've been in the mortgage world since 2001, and I still get fired up about helping folks navigate the loan process with clarity and confidence. Whether it's a first-time buyer or a seasoned homeowner, I make sure they understand every step and feel supported the whole way through. I specialize in VA loans, but I also dig deep into specialty programs to find the best fit for each client. I'm big on communication. There's no such thing as "too many updates" when your loan is in motion. I send weekly check-ins, respond quickly to questions, and advocate hard to get loans approved smoothly. Clients often tell me they appreciate how easy I make the process feel. That's the goal: less stress, more clarity, and a loan that fits your life. Outside of work, I'm all about family, friends, and our two golden retrievers, Izzy and Zusi. I'm also a soccer dad. Nothing beats watching my son play.
