With a mission to help families create and retain generational wealth through the financing of real estate, I bring over 25 years of experience to the table. My journey in the mortgage industry began in 1997, and I am proud to be licensed in Montana, Oregon, and Washington. My connection to the industry runs deep, as my father's family migrated from Eastern Montana during the Great Depression, eve
ntually settling in Oregon where they worked in the timber industry. This background instilled in me a strong work ethic and a deep appreciation for the value of property and land. In addition to my role as a Mortgage Professional, I am also a Real Estate Continuing Education (CE) instructor. This role allows me to share my knowledge and experience with others in the industry, helping them stay informed and up-to-date in this ever-evolving field. One of my most rewarding roles is serving as a Certified Divorce Lending Specialist (CDLP). In this capacity, I act as a financial neutral, assisting divorcing clients during negotiation and mediation. My goal is to help them navigate the complexities of real estate financing, ensuring they can retain family wealth and both spouses can be financially successful post-divorce. One of the highlights of my career is the joy of calling a first-time home buyer to tell them their loan has funded and they are now proud homeowners. It's a moment that never fails to bring me immense satisfaction and reminds me why I do what I do. Outside of the office, you'll often find me engaged in church activities, exploring the great outdoors through hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing, or horseback riding. I have a deep love for rodeos and baseball, and nothing brings me greater joy than spending time with my wife, children, and grandchildren.
