About me
I was born and raised in Mount Vernon, Illinois and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After college, I moved to the St. Louis area, where I have built a successful mortgage career over the past 25 plus years.
I was a top-producing loan officer in the St. Louis area during my early mortgage career. I chose to leave the banks and work at Cornerstone Mortgage (now Guild Mortgage Company) over 10 years ago because it gave me the ability to have local processing, underwriting and closing teams that could meet the demands of my referral partners and clients every transaction.
Since buying a home is one of the most important decisions of a client's life, I want to make sure it is a very smooth and enjoyable process. At Guild, I have the ability to originate a large range of mortgage programs including CONVENTIONAL, FHA, VA, USDA, JUMBO as well as many niche products for first-time homebuyers.
I have been married to my wife Michelle for over 25 years. She is a head principal in the Mehlville School District and we are blessed to have two children, Alexis and Jacob. During my free time I enjoy playing golf, traveling, attending all of my kids events and spending quality time with my family.

Testimonials
Chris was great to work with. This is the second house he has helped me buy. If for some reason i need to buy another, he's who I'll be getting with again. Always answered any questions in a timely manner.
Chris Wood and all the Guild Mortgage staff have been so helpful with getting us our first house. They answered all of our quest thoroughly and quickly!
Chris has been amazing to work with throughout the home buying process. He has been more than happy to answer all of my questions, walk me through the loan process, and went above and beyond by advising on how to get the best rate possible. As a first time home buyer, it was important to me to work with a lender that is both very knowledgeable and able to simplify the process. Chris was both, and more! I would highly recommend working with him to any friends or family, and thank him for making this process so smooth!
Very very helpful throughout the process and was there to answer questions and make us confident in being a new home owner. Thanks for everything
Chris and his team did an excellent job helping. They made the process easy. They were available when I needed to ask a question. You will not find this level of service with most companies. Thanks for helping me become a home owner
Chris was fast and efficient and got the ball rolling within just 2 days. Where as others that we tried in the past got nowhere. He even referred us to others to help us save on insurances, too. We would recommend Chris and Guild to anyone that we know are looking to buy or refinance.
