Arizona isn’t just where I work. It’s home.
I was born in upstate New York, but my family moved to Arizona when I was four, and I’ve proudly called it home ever since. I grew up in the Valley, Shadow Mountain High School, Paradise Valley Community College, and Northern Arizona University, building the relationships and roots that still shape how I serve clients today.
For more than 25 years, I’ve helped Arizona families achieve the dream of homeownership while staying deeply involved in community service, local leadership, and economic development. I’ve had the privilege of serving on numerous nonprofit boards, community organizations, and professional associations dedicated to making Arizona a better place to live, work, and raise a family.
I’m especially honored to have been the first recipient of Paradise Valley Community College’s Outstanding Alumni Award and the inaugural recipient of the Anthem Area Chamber of Commerce Living Legacy Award, recognitions that reflect my commitment to giving back to the communities I love.
Above all, I’m most proud of my family. I’m the father of three amazing children. My oldest son, Griffin, is following in my footsteps in the mortgage industry. My son Grayson is a commercial real estate attorney serving our local business community. And my daughter Gwen is preparing for one of life’s biggest milestones, starting kindergarten.
Whether I’m helping a client navigate the mortgage process, supporting local charities, or volunteering in the community, my goal has always been simple: serve others with integrity, build lasting relationships, and help Arizona continue to thrive.
After all these years, I still consider it a privilege to live, work, and raise my family in the state I proudly call home.
I work with FHA, VA, conventional, jumbo, and first-time buyer loans, plus refinancing. I review your situation and explain which program fits the home you want, in plain terms.
