A Mortgage Experience Built on Clarity, Care, and Real Human Guidance

Helping homebuyers and investors make confident decisions through education-first lending.

My Journey

My story begins in Gary, Indiana, where I grew up in a family that worked hard and stretched every dollar. I know firsthand how financial pressure feels — the stress, the expectations, and the uncertainty. That early experience shaped the way I show up today.

I began my career in high tech and eventually landed at Cisco. But when the dot-com bubble hit, I found myself at a crossroads. A visit with a friend who was thriving in mortgage lending opened a new door — one where I could guide people through life-changing financial decisions with clarity and care.

Twenty-two years later, that passion has only grown. This work is personal for me — it's about helping people feel informed, supported, and confident in moments that matter.
