I'm a small-town guy at heart who believes in hard work, treating people right, and doing business with honesty and integrity. Originally from Monroe, Louisiana, I moved to Oregon in 1971 and later to the Seattle area, where I began my career in the mortgage industry. After nearly 20 years in Washington, my family and I made the move to Sisters, Oregon, in 2021 to follow our dream of owning a small farm in the beautiful high desert of Central Oregon. With over 23 years of experience in mortgage lending, one of the things I enjoy most is helping people achieve the dream of homeownership. There's nothing quite like seeing the excitement of someone getting the keys to their new home, especially a first-time homebuyer! I believe getting a mortgage should be about more than numbers and paperwork. It's about relationships, trust, and having someone in your corner who genuinely cares. My goal is to make sure every client feels informed, comfortable, and confident throughout the process. I take pride in doing what I say I'm going to do, treating people with respect, and always putting my clients' best interests first. When I'm not helping people with home financing, you'll probably find me enjoying the outdoors, hunting, fishing, or spending time with my wife, Jaimie, and our daughters, Addison and Taylor. We especially love heading to the Oregon Coast, walking the beaches with our dogs, and catching fresh Dungeness crab whenever we get the chance. Whether you're buying your first home, moving up, or exploring your financing options, I'd love the opportunity to earn your trust and help you make your homeownership goals a reality.
