Meet The Mortgage Professional

The thought process that has gone into creating a uniquely awesome and systematically repeatable occurrence each and every time as been tested by my first hand experience as a borrower, originator, manager, trainer and executive of mortgages. You might seek out someone as good…but never better.

I’m a husband, father, dog lover, AVID Formula 1 fan and into music from out of anywhere. I was born the son of a contractor so the real estate business is in my blood. My father and his company completed residential and light commercial projects as we were growing up and I have fond memories of hitting nails through scrap pieces of lumber as a project to keep a toddler busy on a job site. As I got older, I was able to help my uncle with finish carpentry and trim work mostly as the “cut man”.

Cutting sometimes expensive lengths of woodwork to fit perfectly taught the lesson of “measure twice – cut once” and this transferred well into the big dollar amount and life impact details of the mortgage business. Studying music and theatre after high school was a bit of a break from the real estate and construction world for me but it did teach me about customer experience. The way music and theatre can make consumers “feel” had a huge connection for me in translating experience into the process of financing a home.

Having always loved math, settling into a career in the world of mortgage finance made sense to me in early 2001. It all started in Louisville, KY which is where I met my lovely bride and where our son was born. Moving to Nashville, TN in 2007 launched another chapter in the career and was the birthplace of our daughter. The management path continued with a move to Kansas City in 2009 and then onto Indianapolis in 2013. Growing branches, training originators and travelling throughout the country made the centrally located move to St. Louis a sensible idea and it’s the central hub of The Mortgage Professional today.

Now, directly involved with each client and handling each transaction from start to finish, I’m within 4-5 hours drive of anyone from Chicago to Nashville or Louisville to Kansas City and all that is in between. My license number is one of the lowest active license numbers in the industry and like an old school doctor but of finance, I’m happy to make house calls. I believe my role requires this level of commitment that delivers face to face, over the phone or internet, at all hours and days of the week…for you.

You deserve it and the industry needs it; a true mortgage professional – The Mortgage Professional.
