About Us

My family and I are active in the Northern Colorado community. We work, play, and learn here, and we share a love for the outdoors that's truly unrivaled. From camping and fishing to Jeeping and dirt biking, we embrace every opportunity to explore our stunning State and National Parks. These adventures keep us connected and remind us of the beauty that surrounds us.

I approach my work with the belief that clients are family. My goal is to build lasting relationships that extend far beyond the transaction. Every step of the way, I'll be your guide, working tirelessly to secure the best mortgage options that align with your goals and financial aspirations.

Our family includes two furry companions who are more than just pets – they're cherished members of our household. They remind us of the importance of loyalty, care, and companionship.

Community is at the heart of everything I do. I take great joy in getting to know my neighbors and peers, forging connections that enrich our lives and strengthen our town.

Whether you're a veteran seeking a new home, a first-time buyer, looking to build your dream home, or searching for the perfect place to settle down, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's embark on this exciting journey together and make your homeownership dreams a reality.

How We Got Started

I've been with The Federal Savings Bank since 2014, and my journey in home lending began in 2006. Over the years, I've achieved over a dozen Outstanding Performance Awards and have had the honor of helping hundreds of families build, buy, and utilize their home equity to improve their quality of life. This wealth of experience has shaped my commitment to exceptional service.

My clients need to feel comfortable working with me. Our personalities need to 'fit' to some degree. Clients should not have to worry if they are working with the right person. These transactions are stressful enough with all of the moving components. I get a lot of repeat and referral business and have built a solid referral network over the last decade here in Vegas. Nothing compares to positive word of mouth, but you better be ready to live up to the expectations. That said I like to under promise and over deliver - even on the small things. At the end of the day there are hundreds of banks and thousands of loan originators out there, the choice is to do business with me - not my bank. Your personal brand is very important. You need to be accessible and communicate well too. Frequent updates help keep folks at ease and be able to relax. I use a combination of text, email, phone and personal meetings and I don't like to go more than a few days without touching base via one of these methods - even if all parties know the next phase in the transaction is a week or more off. Don't take on more than you can handle. Sounds like a good problem to have but it can turn ugly quick. I have referred friends to work with another person I trust at my bank when I knew I would not be able to provide the level of service they deserved. Last but most important - LISTEN! Listen to your clients and get to know them. What are their wants and needs? What is important to them? Who is in their family and part of the transaction? Why are they making the transaction? When do they need to close? Are they flexible? Be human and don't treat them like a number. Earn their trust and their business.

I like a challenge. Every loan has a unique person or family behind it. Clients aren't just a number to me, they are a blessing. I will go above and beyond and exhaust every resource possible if needed. Too many loan originators and bankers focus on the 'low hanging fruit' and miss the experience... (more) I like a challenge.
