I was born and raised in a small town and like to give my clients that small town customer service that we all appreciate. I have been in the customer service industry for over 10 years. I strongly believe that there is always a solution, we just need to find it.
I am committed to building lasting relationships with my clients and to help them achieve their goal of home ownership. I know that a purchase or refinance has a lot of steps to it and I plan to be there every step of the way to help guide you through that process.I seek to get my clients the best program available that will fit what they are looking for.
During my time that I am not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Hattie, and my soon to be daughter, Penelope. I also like to do things that challenge my mind like playing Golf and Billiards.
