I love what I do! Meeting new people and assisting them with their home financing needs are what make my job as a mortgage loan officer so rewarding. For over twenty years, I have helped thousands of clients secure the right mortgage at a great interest rate, making the dream of home ownership both affordable and enjoyable for them. Whether it's here in the Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, or Beaufort area, or in any of the states where I am licensed, I work relentlessly on behalf of my clients to ensure a smooth transaction from start to finish. Precision with details and frequent communication with all parties involved in the transaction are the characteristics that define my work as a loan officer. I am licensed to originate residential home loans in South Carolina, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Tennessee, and Iowa. My wife Claudia and I met at Wheaton College and were married in 1990. We have 3 wonderful children - twin daughters and a son. In our free time we enjoy relaxing at the beach, traveling overseas, and hosting people in our home for a meal.
