I was born outside of Chicago and grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana where I earned a double major in Finance.   In 1998 after receiving a great promotional opportunity, I took the leap to Southern California to manage a retail mortgage branch.  Following that, for the next 8 years, I served as the top Area Sales Manager at a public wholesale mortgage corporation.  As an avid real estate investor, I chose to expand my expertise by getting my real estate license so that I could help others in the field that I am very passionate about.  Having owned properties in Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Irvine, Corona Del Mar, and Tustin Ranch, I have a solid grasp on the intricacies of these markets. 

When not working I enjoy traveling, hiking, football, and many other sports.  Family is important to me so devoting time to them and my 3 year old son is a must.  I pride myself on my mid-west values that were instilled in me by my parents and grandparents.   My strengths include a fearsome work ethic, problem solving, and a keen knowledge of today's mortgage and real estate landscape.  I will bring these skills along with honestly, credibility, and loyalty to each client and transaction.
