Home loans are more than just transactions for me – they are a way to connect with people and provide valuable solutions for my real estate partners, clients, and friends. As SVP Mortgage Lending at CrossCountry Mortgage here in Kansas City, I work hard to offer a world-class customer experience using a “high-touch” relationship approach that many other mortgage professionals have abandoned. While I’ve received multiple industry awards, I’m most proud of the friendships I’ve made along the way.I’ve worked in the mortgage industry for over 20 years, have been a top 1% originator nationally every year since 2011, and am currently licensed in 22 states. My goal is to provide a fun, one-of-a-kind experience you won’t find with most mortgage experts, and – fair warning – I have been known to be the “life of the party.” I love playing poker, and I even spent time playing professionally. I’m a huge sports fan and have season tickets for the Kansas City Chiefs and Sporting KC. I also have three children and a wonderful wife, and I love spending time with them at home.At the end of the day, I want people to respect my knowledge, but more importantly, I want to be known as kind and inspiring. I am actively involved in my church and support several charities. I am also on several executive and leadership committees at Fairway, which I consider a great honor and privilege.
