Navigating Home Loans with Integrity and Excellence

Over 20 Years of Trusted Mortgage Solutions

About me

Purchasing a new home can sometimes seem overwhelming as it is typically the largest purchase you make in a lifetime. Working with the right mortgage originator and company truly makes all the difference in the experience that partners and clients receive.

I grew up on a small farm in Central Missouri, where a strong work ethic and integrity were instilled in me from a very young age. My wife, Laurie, and I are now passing these same values along to our three children. After receiving a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia, I was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Army Field Artillery. I served for four years in the Army, assigned to Combat Operations in Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

After leaving the Army, I worked in the Banking Industry and then in the Consulting Industry with Ernst & Young. In June of 2004, I opened a mortgage lending office in Osage Beach at the Lake of the Ozarks. With over 20 years of origination experience, I have been part of the ever-changing lending environment. I thrive, grow, and adjust my business systems so that my partners and clients can receive the highest customer experience available. I am proud to say that my business has always been 100% by referral. Delivering high-quality service and giving partners and clients something to refer to their friends and family is the #1 priority for my team and me.

I am not only a mortgage originator; I strive to be a “Mortgage Sherpa” and I expect to keep my clients for life. Please never hesitate to call with any questions you may have and, of course, any referral we can follow up with.

Ed does a wonderful job - takes each transaction so seriously no matter the amount. Just completed a sale on a small home and he treated the buyer with the utmost respect, walking him through the process as many times as needed for him to be comfortable. He found the right loan package for his particular needs.

Always responsive to the many, many questions. Had a nervous buyer, needed a lot of hand-holding. Ed was always available and worked hard to make sure the buyer was comfortable with everything. He never disappoints us.
