No stranger to the mortgage industry, Sam previously worked for Intercoastal Mortgage, Sandy Spring Bank, and Homespire Mortgage. And before entering the world of lending, he worked as a criminal investigator with the New York City Department of Investigation and in an investigatory compliance capacity for JPMorgan and Standard Chartered Bank. Sam made the move to Embrace® in order to offer his cl
ients a wider range of mortgage solutions and expand his reach through our award-winning marketing. Sam grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, lived in New York City for about a decade, and currently resides in Potomac, Maryland. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and went on to attend New York’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Dedicated to his work, Sam has the honor of repeatedly being chosen for the Scotsman Guide’s and the Washingtonian’s top lender lists. He’s also proud to be the president of the DC BNI chapter – Capital Rainmakers. (BNI is the world’s leading business networking and referral organization.) When he’s not helping people achieve the American Dream, Sam enjoys spending time in the kitchen honing his cooking skills and spending time with his family. He and his lovely wife, Sarah, have two young daughters — Ava and Lara. They have no pets, but they’re open to adding a furry four-legged friend to their happy family someday. Sam is very much into Orangetheory Fitness® and tries to go at least four times a week. And if there’s one thing he loves as much as staying fit, it’s lounging in the sand all day on a sunny beach.
