About me

When I began my career as a loan officer, one of the first deals I closed was for an older Air Force veteran who had come to believe he would never be able to buy a house. His whole family was present on the day we completed his purchase and when he got his keys, he got choked up… and so did I. That was my “ah-ha” moment when I realized the generational impact of homeownership. I knew then that being a loan officer was a profession I wanted to throw all my effort into. Today, I provide home buyers with the encouragement, support, and knowledge they need to take the next step. I work hard to provide easy and efficient communication and provide clear, competent answers to client questions during the process. I look forward to collaborating with every client to make their goals a reality.

As a man who has worn many hats, I understand what it is like to approach the home-buying process from different perspectives. From learning the ropes as a young entrepreneur and dealing with credit issues to owning a successful contracting business to looking toward retirement today. I am uniquely situated to navigate a range of situations for home buyers with trusted insight.

When I am not working to get my clients into their dream home, my hobbies include spending time with my sons, making music with my friends and enjoying a day on the water.

Mark was a true professional who helped guide us through an unprecedented period in the mortgage industry. He was on top of his game making sure we locked in the lowest rate that had the most beneficial financial impact for our family. I’d like to think I not only gained a new agent but also a friend in this experience.
