About me
Every morning when I wake up, I jump out of bed excited to start the day and head to the office. For many, getting a mortgage can seem overwhelming, but I take pride in simplifying the process and creating custom strategies that meet my clients' financial goals. Helping people achieve their dreams of homeownership is what truly fills my cup.
From serving two tours in Afghanistan as a Marine to earning my business degree from The University of Washington, the journey that brought me here has shaped how I serve my clients and partners at the highest level. Whether it's working on a deal, spending time on the golf course, hitting a CrossFit workout, or perfecting my lawn to look like a golf green, I strive for excellence in everything I do.
At the end of the day, the most important things in my life are serving Christ, & building a life with my wife, and two sons.
I look forward to serving YOU!
