About Mark

Do what you say. Commit. Persevere. Above all, have integrity.

I started my mortgage career in 2000, and quickly realized how much I enjoy helping people become homeowners. I will listen to your goals and identify a mortgage to help you achieve your vision. As your loan progresses, I focus on frequent communication. You will always be informed about the status of your mortgage.

I will work hard to make sure you close on time with the best experience possible. I am knowledgeable about a wide range of loan programs, including FHA, VA, USDA, conventional and jumbo, and enjoy working with clients ranging from first-time homebuyers to long-time homeowners. Challenging scenarios bring out the best in me!

I was born and raised in a small town in the Central Valley of California. Sports have been an important part of my life, and I started competing in triathlons and Ironman triathlons early in my mortgage career. These days, swimming is my favorite exercise and I love to wind down with yoga.
