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.

Lafe is always my "Go To" mortgage lender when I think my clients may be a little more difficult than usual in getting a mortage. He knows all the answers to regulatory questions and really makes the client feel at ease in buying their new home. I rely on him and his knowledge to get the mortgage loan accomplished. His experience makes a HUGE difference. Guild should be glad they have him on their team!!!
