About Jim

Hi, I'm Jim, and I know your mortgage is personal. As a father of two beautiful daughters, I understand that a home is more than a transaction—it’s about making and cherishing memories. Combining 27 years of experience in loan origination, marketing, and top sales team management, I provide high-performance customer service. After 17 years with large corporate banks, I relocated from Ohio to Sarasota, FL in Southwest Florida, and 70% of my clients relocated with me!

As part of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, I’ll help you consider financing options, including conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, and jumbo loans, to find the right one for your plans. I also work closely with real estate partners to help grow their businesses. Whether you’re buying your first home or opening a new chapter in life, you’ll feel comfortable, respected, and valued working with my team and me. In my downtime, I enjoy golfing, fishing, boating, and enjoying the Florida lifestyle.

Owning a home is fun and fulfilling!

What’s not to love about having a space that is entirely yours? You can paint your bathroom fuchsia, have hardwood in the master, put up a wild Mosaic in the kitchen, install a smart thermostat, you name it. After all, it’s your home!

Equally enjoyable are the other personal and financial advantages of being a homeowner: security and stability, equity and wealth building, and more! I’m here to help you get the most from your home financing — whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or downsizing to match your lifestyle, or refinancing your current mortgage.

Helping your home financing process go smoothly.
