For over three decades, my life has been about helping people—first as a firefighter, now as a mortgage professional. Whether responding to emergencies or guiding families through home financing, my passion is bringing order to chaos and offering peace of mind. My mortgage journey started unexpectedly over a neighborhood poker game in 2005. As a career firefighter in South Florida, I took on a second job at a mortgage brokerage and quickly realized the parallels—both require calmness, clarity, and a steady hand in high-stress situations. The mortgage process can feel overwhelming, but with proper preparation and guidance, it doesn’t have to be. My goal is to ensure every client feels confident and informed, treating each loan with the same urgency and attention to detail as I did in the fire service. Beyond work, I love spending time with my family, traveling, and fishing. Through this blog, I aim to share insights and make homeownership more approachable. I’m here to help!
