A little about me
A guide, not a salesperson
I've been a loan officer since 2018, but my path here started in the classroom — I spent years as a professional tutor and ran my own tutoring business before moving into mortgages. That instinct to break something complicated into plain language and walk a person through it never left me. It's exactly what I love about this work today, especially purchase transactions — guiding a buyer from the first conversation all the way to the keys. That's the genuinely human side of the mortgage world, and doing it well takes real skill.
What sets me apart from most loan officers is where I came from: operations. Before I ever originated a loan, I spent years processing and underwriting them. I think like an underwriter and know the system like a processor, so I can shape a deal carefully and catch the pitfalls others miss — looking far enough ahead to head off problems before they ever become emergencies. For you and your buyer, that means a calmer process and fewer surprises at the closing table. My old shop handled a lot of complex self-employed borrowers, too, so that's become one of my sharpest specialties.
I'm at my best with self-employed and first-time buyers — the files that reward someone who actually knows how to build them. And when a deal gets hard, I don't disappear: I once carried a purchase through nearly nine months of seller-side complications and stayed with it until we closed. That's the standard — I'm in it until you have the keys.
Outside of work, I'm a Jersey guy through and through. I'm also a devoted improv fan and run Morristown Improv, a growing community that hosts events for anyone who wants to give improv a try. At home, my girlfriend and I have three cats of our own and foster others on their way to a home.
