Helping 1st-Time Buyers, Investors & Families Since 2017

Your South Carolina Mortgage Pro

About me

Since 2017, I've proudly served as a dedicated loan officer in the Palmetto State of South Carolina, helping first-time home buyers, real estate investors, and families achieve their dream of homeownership. Whether you're purchasing your first home, upgrading for your growing family, or investing in property, I specialize in a wide range of home loan programs including Conventional, FHA, VA, and Down Payment Assistance options.

I serve clients across Greater Columbia, Sumter, Manning, Camden, Lugoff, Chapin, Little Mountain, and Newberry, providing personalized mortgage solutions and expert guidance every step of the way.

One of the most meaningful moments in my career came early on, when I helped an older Air Force veteran-who thought he'd never own a home-close on his first property. Seeing his family celebrate and witnessing the emotional impact of that moment solidified my commitment to this profession. That experience showed me the generational impact of homeownership, and I've been all-in ever since.

As a loan officer, I focus on clear communication, efficient processes, and trusted support. I take pride in answering questions with clarity and helping clients feel confident and informed throughout the mortgage journey.

With a background that includes entrepreneurship, credit rebuilding, and running a successful contracting business, I bring a unique perspective to the table. I understand the challenges and opportunities that come with buying a home at every stage of life-from starting out to planning for retirement.

When I'm not helping clients secure the right mortgage, I enjoy spending time with my sons, making music with friends, and relaxing on the water.

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.
