With nearly 10 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I am a seasoned Loan Originator (NMLS #1123575) dedicated to helping individuals, especially veterans, achieve their dream of homeownership. My journey began as a loan processor and working my way up to a loan officer assistant before starting as loan originator and eventually becoming an owner of my own brokerage before finding my home with Be My Neighbor Mortgage. During my career in mortgages I have gained in-depth expertise in processing, origination, mortgage operations, and origination support.

My passion for helping veterans stems from my deep respect for their service, as well as my own family’s military background, with both my father and grandfather having served. I’ve seen firsthand how many veterans are taken advantage of in the mortgage industry, which drives me to educate and empower them to make informed, confident decisions. I am proud to be actively involved with Vetted VA, an organization that provides education and resources to VA homebuyers and mortgage professionals, and I’ve undergone extensive VA loan training and knowledge checks to ensure I can offer the best possible guidance to those who have served.

In addition to my technical expertise, I’m committed to providing a high level of personalized service. Whether it’s helping veterans navigate the complexities of VA loans or offering solutions to first-time homebuyers, I leverage my background in both the operational and origination sides of the industry to offer a seamless experience for my clients.

Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about my involvement in church and ministry, spending quality time with my family, and enjoying the outdoors through hunting. I strive to serve others with the same dedication and integrity that I believe should define both my personal and professional life.
