About me

I'm a mortgage professional with over two decades of experience helping individuals and families across Kingwood, Houston, and the surrounding Texas communities navigate the home loan process with clarity, honesty, and confidence. As a Guild Mortgage loan officer and branch manager, I specialize in finding smart, creative solutions - especially in the 'gray areas' of lending - when traditional approaches fall short. My straightforward communication style ensures clients always know where they stand and what steps come next.

Throughout my career, I've helped first-time homebuyers, repeat buyers, veterans, real estate investors, and homeowners looking to refinance achieve their homeownership goals. From VA, FHA, conventional, jumbo, renovation, down payment assistance, and DSCR loans, I take the time to understand each client's financial picture and build a customized mortgage strategy that fits their needs. My background as a former college football player at Sam Houston State University fuels my competitive drive and commitment to winning for my clients and referral partners alike.

Beyond lending, I'm deeply involved in the local community - supporting events, alumni initiatives, and educational opportunities that help people better understand homeownership and the role a loan officer plays in the process. When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me offshore fishing, navigating the ups and downs of golf, or playing guitar and singing with friends. Most importantly, I'm a husband, father, and proud grandfather, and time spent with my family reminds me why helping people find the right home truly matters.

If you're looking for a trusted mortgage lender in Kingwood, TX who offers straight talk, creative problem-solving, and a clear path to homeownership, I'd love to help. Contact me today to start building your mortgage game plan and take the next step toward homeownership with confidence.
