About me
Originally from the Chicago area, I have lived in Tucson since 1979. After studying Finance at the University of Arizona, I began my career in mortgage lending. I learned the business from some of Tucson's best mortgage bankers, from assisting customers to purchase resale homes, to working with local home builders and their new construction transactions. This provided me the knowledge and expertise to assist my clients with their mortgage financing for more than 30 years. Whether you’re buying an existing home, building a new one or needing to refinance, I will guide you through the steps and insure you have a successful closing.
My son Brian is a hard-working student at the University of Arizona majoring in neuroscience and he joins me on the golf course when our schedules allow.
When I'm not working, I enjoy photography, baseball, live theater/concerts, going to the gym and spending time with family and friends.
