38 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE GUIDED BY ONE PRINCIPLE: PEOPLE COME FIRST.

 

I treasure helping people and making a difference in their lives! Since 1988, I've had the honor of helping nearly 9,000 families navigate the mortgage process and achieve homeownership with greater confidence and peace of mind. Over my career, I've helped finance more than $1.3 billion in home loans, but what means the most to me isn't the numbers—it's the trust behind them.

 

I'm humbled that families throughout Lincoln have trusted me across three generations, helping parents, their children, and their grandchildren with their mortgage loan. That kind of TRUST & LOYALTY is not lost on me or ever taken for granted!

 

Buying a home is about so much more than qualifying for a mortgage. It's about your hopes, your money, your future, and the life YOU want to build. I believe that mortgage decisions are 90% emotion and 10% math. I cherish the privilege of helping you with both!

 

That's why everything begins with listening. I want to understand your goals, questions, concerns & anxieties before we talk numbers. By providing YOU patient education, detailed explanations, and genuine empathy, you will clearly understand your options to make informed financial decisions with confidence—not confusion or pressure.

 

Putting people first has earned me the nickname "LNKs Mortgage Dad". You deserve patience, guidance, authenticity, and someone advocating for YOUR BEST INTEREST.

 

Whether you're buying your first home, moving up to a bigger home, or simply wondering if homeownership makes any sense for you - please know you don't have to figure it out all alone. Call your mortgage Dad and start a conversation - where there is no such thing as a stupid question or judgement. Just honest answers and a plan built around you.

 

MY LIFE OUTSIDE OF MORTGAGE

 

I am blessed with two children, Sarah & Andrew, and now two grandchildren Gus & Charlotte, plus Bella my labrador. When I'm not helping families with their mortgage loan, you'll find me cheering on college football, kettlebell workouts, long walks with Bella, and listening to personal development audiobooks, or acoustic singer/songwriters. I also appreciate a smooth bourbon, a fine Pinot Noir, a cold Budweiser, and traveling. I do golf - although getting my 23 handicap under control is a work in progress!

 

EMPOWERING PEOPLE TO BUY THEIR HOME THROUGH EDUCATION & EMPATHY IS EXACTLY WHERE I WANT TO BE . . . BECAUSE EARNING YOUR TRUST PROVIDES MEANING & PURPOSE TO MY LIFE!
