About me

I'm proud to call Bend, Oregon home, but I grew up just 20 miles down the road in the small town of Sisters. That small-town upbringing taught me the value of hard work, honesty, and treating folks like family-values I carry into every loan I help close.

I met my wife, Megan, while studying International Business and Operations Supply Chain Management at Gonzaga University. Today, we're raising our two boys, Parker and Hudson, and soaking up the best of Central Oregon-whether it's skiing in the winter, hunting in the fall, or heading to the lake in the summer.

Homeownership has always meant more to me than just having a roof over your head-it's about creating stability, building memories, and opening doors to new opportunities. I take pride in helping families and individuals find that same sense of security and possibility through owning a home. My goal is simple: make the process clear, smooth, and stress-free, so you can focus on building your future.

Let's find the right home loan for you

We have loan options to fit every situation, from down payment assistance programs for first-time homebuyers to government-sponsored programs for military families and rural residents or jumbo loans in high-cost markets.
