About John

I have been in the financial business for over 15 years. When you come to me for your mortgage, I begin by listening. That’s how I’m able to structure your ideal home loan — by understanding your goals and priorities.

You may be a first-time homebuyer or a long-time homeowner. You may be buying an investment property or looking for a renovation loan. I offer a wide range of loan programs, from conventional and jumbo to FHA and VA. Together, we’ll find the one that meets your individual needs.

Sharing information is just as important as listening. Communication is key, and I am dedicated to keeping you informed about your mortgage progress while being available to answer your questions every step of the way — from application to closing and beyond.

Whether you are buying, refinancing, or renovating, I am ready to give you the outstanding home loan experience you deserve.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy all outdoor activities and spending time with my toddler son, Brody.

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.
