Navigating Home Loans with Integrity and Excellence

Over 20 Years of Trusted Mortgage Solutions

About me

Purchasing a new home can sometimes seem overwhelming as it is typically the largest purchase you make in a lifetime. Working with the right mortgage originator and company truly makes all the difference in the experience that partners and clients receive.

I grew up on a small farm in Central Missouri, where a strong work ethic and integrity were instilled in me from a very young age. My wife, Laurie, and I are now passing these same values along to our three children. After receiving a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia, I was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Army Field Artillery. I served for four years in the Army, assigned to Combat Operations in Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

After leaving the Army, I worked in the Banking Industry and then in the Consulting Industry with Ernst & Young. In June of 2004, I opened a mortgage lending office in Osage Beach at the Lake of the Ozarks. With over 20 years of origination experience, I have been part of the ever-changing lending environment. I thrive, grow, and adjust my business systems so that my partners and clients can receive the highest customer experience available. I am proud to say that my business has always been 100% by referral. Delivering high-quality service and giving partners and clients something to refer to their friends and family is the #1 priority for my team and me.

I am not only a mortgage originator; I strive to be a “Mortgage Sherpa” and I expect to keep my clients for life. Please never hesitate to call with any questions you may have and, of course, any referral we can follow up with.
