Backed by excellent operations and a company that truly cares about people, Nick's goal is to help everyone achieve their dream of owning a home.  Guild Mortgage is proud to be the #1 Purchase lender in Clark County, NV and consistently delivers on its promise of going above and beyond for every single client it has the pleasure to serve. 
 
Nick's father was a Green Beret, part of the 5th Special Forces Group, serving two terms in The Vietnam War preceding his employment as a local small business owner operating "Kitts Appraisal Service, Inc." for over 25 years based in Tacoma, WA.  This is where he had his first "job" as a child helping his father around the office on various weeknights and weekends.  The business was a family operation and Nick continued to work with his father throughout high school and college gaining valuable experience in Real Estate and Finance.  His mother worked in retail banking prior to being a wife and homemaker for over 15 years until she returned to school to receive her degree in Nursing, graduating with honors.  She enjoyed a highly successful and decorated career as charge nurse at Allenmore hospital in Tacoma, WA where she advocated for constant process improvement as a strong advocate of patient care protocols. She frequently received invitations to speak at industry events on her personal standards and procedures implemented in various patient scenarios encountered in the post-surgical department she managed. 

Having recently moved to Las Vegas and graduating from Washington State University in 2009, Nick worked for several corporations in various roles of Sales Management, Human Resources and Operations.  With multiple companies, Nick spent most of his time on the road traveling cross country for various large-scale client projects with as much as 90% yearly travel time.  While the road warrior life has its perks, the travel slowed and further opportunities led Nick to his final position prior to becoming a Licensed Mortgage Loan Originator at the Westcare Foundation in Henderson, NV as a technical project manager. 

"My career in sales management and human resources. specifically, as project manager and various operational management roles, has given me a great foundation for the mortgage and finance industry.  Both positions not only benefit, but at times require expert skills in high touch communication, superior client service, managing multiple high-level deadlines, strong technical proficiency, and a solid background in technology to provide a top-level client experience" 

Nick enjoys all the various components and myriad of skills needed to be a proficient loan officer.  There is always something to learn and no mortgage is ever the same.   The complex aspects of personal finance combined with logical planning and putting it all together in the end; resulting in happy families and new beginnings a home purchase can bring keeps him striving to always find ways to be better for his clients.
