About me

I believe buying a home should be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. It's more than just crunching numbers or getting the best rate—it's about truly understanding your goals, easing your concerns, and walking with you every step of the way to your dream home.

With over 20 years in the mortgage industry, I’ve seen it all—from the market's ups and downs to the challenges many buyers face. What hasn’t changed is my commitment to building real relationships with my clients. You’re never just a number on a page; you’re someone with unique goals and challenges. I take the time to dig deeper, find out exactly what you need, and share proven strategies that help make homeownership a reality.

At the core of everything I do is a simple philosophy: it’s about people, not transactions. I’m not here to push you into a decision. Instead, I offer honest advice, clear guidance, and a deep understanding of the process so that you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Outside of work, my motivation and joy come from my wonderful wife, Rose, and our young daughter, Gianna. They remind me every day of the importance of what I do—helping families find homes where they can create lasting memories. I also stay sharp through my other passion—rowing competitively year-round. It keeps me focused, driven, and ready for any challenge, much like the work I do for my clients.

I would love the opportunity to get to know you, understand your goals, and guide you through the mortgage process. Together, we’ll make your dream home a reality!
