About me

As a proud Marine Corps veteran, I chose to plant roots in Jacksonville after my service and have called it home ever since. I've been happily married to my wife Jennifer for 25 years, and we're proud parents to two amazing college students, Devin and Morgan, both studying right here in North Carolina. With over 25 years of experience in the auto lending industry, I bring the same dedication, precision, and customer-first mindset to helping clients navigate the home loan process. I proudly serve Jacksonville, Swansboro, Richlands, and the surrounding areas, working with first-time buyers and seasoned homeowners alike to ensure a smooth, efficient, and enjoyable path to homeownership.

When I'm not helping clients, you'll find me cycling or traveling with my family.
