A little about me...

With over 20 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I have had the privilege of helping clients navigate one of life’s biggest financial decisions. As a Senior Loan Officer based in Washington State, I specialize in VA loans and Reverse Mortgages—two powerful tools that can provide flexibility, stability, and peace of mind to the clients I serve.

My approach is simple: build lasting relationships and make the loan process as transparent and seamless as possible. Whether you are a first-time buyer, a veteran looking to take advantage of your hard-earned benefits, or a seasoned homeowner exploring the possibilities of a reverse mortgage, I am here to guide you every step of the way with honesty, clarity, and care.
