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!

Chris has done a fantastic job getting my clients approved and closing the transactions quickly. Once I refer a client to Chris, he is immediately in contact and setting up a virtual appointment introduction and helping them get started. Chris is professional and kind and has made my clients feel right at ease. He communicates well with me and other parties of the transaction. From preapproval to closing I feel like my clients are well cared taken care of. I highly recommend Chris.
