I started at large direct lender/bank, in February of 2004. I set the Bellevue branch record a year later (since broken, no doubt), then left to join a wholesale mortgage broker as their 1st employee. The direct bank is one of the largest lenders in the country, and had an excellent training program, a solid work environment, benefits, and all around a good group of folks to work with. When it finally proven to me that I really did not have the best rates and prices available to me at the bank, I took the leap into the unknown world of wholesale lending.
I received an excellent education in wholesale lending from the owners, on the finer points of originating loans from the wholesale side, and was the most productive employee in 2006. I left that broker to become an independent in May of 2007, in order to serve borrowers even better.
Currently, we originate via Axia Financial LLC (formerly Abacus), with access to the nation’s top lenders, best rates and great local support.
Before the lending business, I spent 15 years in the cable television industry as a Sales and Marketing manager. While there, I learned to manage and grow the owner’s assets responsibly, and I apply what I learned every day in the mortgage business.
I am fiscally conservative by nature (OK, my wife says I’m cheap, and I have the car to prove it), but generous with my knowledge and desire to help anyone who asks. The lending business gives me a wonderful opportunity to educate my clients in the often confusing process, and watch out for their interests.
I treat every borrower like they were my neighbor; I will be accountable, and available to you, when you need me. Every client deserves the best customer service and the best loan programs available.
When not working on loans, I enjoy spending time with my wife, my three kids and my dog. I also try to stay young by playing guitar and singing in church and with friends.
