About Me
Loan Officer · NMLS 1380985
A little over 10 years ago I practically married into the mortgage business. My, then, new wife, Melissa, was running a small mortgage branch in town which, over a ten-year-span, grew into a thriving business. During this time, I was following my heart and passion with ministry to children: from working at Redeemer Christian School, coaching, mentoring teens at Heart & Soul Cafe, to serving as a Guardian ad Litem and as a counselor at Royal Family Kids Camp -- I was given this amazing opportunity to pour into the lives of kids in our community. Not only that, but I have been blessed to spend tons of time and connect with our 2 children, Ava & Harry, right from the start.
About 2 years ago, life began to change drastically for us and it was time for a new pace. I had watched my wife work hard for the past several years and I gained a great interest in the mortgage business. So, I decided to join in with her with the goal that she would eventually be able to step back some and focus on her health and our family. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
I’ve lived in Ocala for the past 13 years now and since I’ve lived here, I’ve met some of the most amazing people who have been true friends and mentors to me. I don’t believe the transitions that my wife and I have had to make over the years would have been possible without the support of these friends. That is why it is so important to me that I live my life as a true friend to others. This is how I choose to run my business as well, with openness & honesty, kindness, and looking out for the best in all who I come in contact with.
Besides the enjoyment I find in working the mortgage business, mentoring kids, and spending time with my family, I have another great passion: mountain biking. The Santos Trail is my home-away-from-home. It is a place of peace for me and the adventure found out there on the trail has been my saving grace time and time again. I believe that everyone needs that time outdoors, away from the busyness of life, to be the best human possible. Mountain biking has a direct affect on my ability to be the best Husband, Dad, and Mortgage Loan Originator. So, that’s why I love that quote from John Muir, “Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” The path to success looks different for each of us and mine looks a lot like a trail in the woods.
