About Steven

Since 1991, I’ve worked with everyone from first-time homebuyers to professional athletes, Hollywood executives, and high-net-worth clients. My organized and detailed approach to home financing has led to $1.5 billion in mortgage volume and Scotsman Guide’s Top Originator rankings. No matter your goals and circumstances, I’m excited to learn your story and help you plot a path to success.

Each mortgage is as unique as you are. I’m proud to provide a personalized approach to home financing that emphasizes quality loans over quantity. That’s why we’ll start your process by discussing today’s priorities and tomorrow’s dreams. Maybe a conventional mortgage will meet your requirements. Perhaps a jumbo loan is a better fit for your big dreams. Or you could qualify for programs like FHA, USDA, or VA. Whether you’re purchasing, refinancing, or investing, we’ll find the right product for your plans.

My consideration for you doesn’t end after finding a mortgage. From pre-approval to closing and into the future, I’ll always answer your questions and make sure your home loan continues to meet your changing circumstances. I look forward to starting your home financing journey.

I grew up in the fantastic city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, then lived in Chicago for 36 years before moving my wife and two kids to our current home of Scottsdale, Arizona. I enjoy baseball, golf, hockey, travel, and psychology in my spare time. Before joining the mortgage industry, I earned a finance degree from Miami (Ohio) University.

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.
