Taking the Time to Explain when Other Lenders Won’t … in a Complicated Market!

I believe that explaining things to clients in words they understand is what sets me apart from the competition. I will do whatever it takes to make sure that my clients get all of their questions answered clearly and concisely. My clients often become part of my extended family keeping in touch with me long after the loan process is over. I will shop for your interest rate and product through our large wholesale channel so you are never limited by just one lender.

I graduated from The Portfolio Center/Miami Ad School in Atlanta, GA in 1999 with a degree in Art Direction in Advertising. I have been a loan originator for 22 years and am licensed in FL and GA.

In my free time I spend time with my two French bulldogs Remi & Louie, workout, travel, study foreign languages, try the latest restaurants in Atlanta, and spend time with my incredible partner.
