Indiana Home Loans Made Simple
From Application to Keys - Your Home Loan Journey Starts Here

About me

With nearly three decades of experience in the mortgage industry, I’ve been helping individuals and families achieve their dream of homeownership since 1997. As a seasoned Loan Consultant at Guild Mortgage, I specialize in tailoring mortgage solutions to meet the unique needs of each client. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, refinancing your current home, or exploring options for a VA, FHA, USDA, or 
Conventional loan, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

At Guild, we pride ourselves on our competitive pricing, cutting-edge technology, and fully in-house local processing, underwriting, and closing services. This streamlined approach ensures a smooth and efficient mortgage experience from application to closing.

I’m proud to call Evansville, Indiana home, where I’ve lived most of my life. I earned my degree in Exercise Science from the University of Southern Indiana, and my deep roots in the community fuel my passion for helping fellow Hoosiers navigate the home loan process with confidence and clarity.

My professional affiliations include membership in the Realtors Association and past leadership as President of the Southwest Chapter of the Mortgage Bankers Association. These roles reflect my commitment to staying informed and engaged in the evolving landscape of residential lending.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife, Jenni, and our two children, Bella and William. Whether it's coaching youth sports or enjoying the outdoors, family and community are at the heart of everything I do.

If you're looking for a knowledgeable, approachable, and dedicated mortgage lender in Indiana, I’d be honored to help you take the next step toward homeownership. Let’s make your home buying journey a success—together.

Let's find the right home loan for you

We have loan options to fit every situation, from down payment assistance programs for first-time homebuyers to government-sponsored programs for military families and rural residents or jumbo loans in high-cost markets.
