Forty years ago, I began my career in real estate as an investor—buying, rolling up my sleeves to remodel them, and either selling or renting out properties. That experience taught me the true value of real estate as a wealth-building tool to create long-term financial stability.
I've always had a thing for crunching numbers. There's something incredibly satisfying about solving the puzzle of a real estate deal—figuring out how to structure the financing, maximize cash flow, and create long-term value. Early on, I learned what makes a good deal, how to analyze the numbers, and why smart financing is often the difference between success and failure.
The Turning Point
That last piece—the financing—kept pulling me in. I saw firsthand how the right mortgage could make or break a deal, whether it was a first-time homebuyer chasing the dream of ownership or an investor growing a portfolio. Over time, it became clear to me: the financing side of real estate was just as important as the property itself.
That realization changed everything. I knew I wanted to help others leverage real estate the same way I had—by focusing on the numbers, making smart financing decisions, and building something that lasts.
So, twenty-three years ago, I took a leap into the mortgage industry—a decision that would go on to shape the lives of thousands of families I've had the privilege of helping.
Since then, I've had the privilege of working with thousands of families, investors, and self-employed borrowers—helping them navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. I've built relationships, learned from every market cycle, and embraced the ever-evolving world of lending.
A Career Filled with Purpose
Looking back, that leap of faith 23 years ago led to a career filled with purpose. And I wouldn't trade it for anything.
