About me
I entered the mortgage industry 17 years ago and quickly discovered a passion for problem-solving and helping people make the best financing decisions. I'm dedicated to guiding my clients through every step of the loan process--educating them about their options and ensuring they feel confident and informed from start to finish.
Throughout my career as a mortgage banker, I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients, including first-time homebuyers, returning clients, and seasoned investors. I'm honored to be a 13-time recipient of the Portland Monthly 5-Star Professional Award. In addition, I've earned seven President's Club Awards, one Chairman's Club Award, and two Circle of Honor Awards--recognitions that reflect my commitment to excellence, leadership, and client satisfaction. You're in good hands.
As a native Pacific Northwesterner, I love spending time outdoors with my daughter--biking, hiking, and visiting family throughout Oregon and Washington.
