Before I talk about production, platforms, or performance, I care about people.

Because in this industry, connection is the difference between a short-term move and a long-term career.

I’ve spent over 20 years sitting in the same seat as the loan officers I now lead—building relationships with clients, navigating uncertainty, protecting referral partners, and showing up when deals were hard, emotional, or on the line. That experience shapes everything I do today.

My leadership philosophy is simple:
People grow best when they feel supported, understood, and respected—then challenged to convert their potential into results.

I’m a top 1% originator not because I chase volume, but because I understand how trust is built—and how conversion follows when systems support connection instead of replacing it.

In my role today, I focus on creating an environment where loan officers:

  • Feel seen, not managed
  • Have access to real leadership, not layers of noise
  • Build confidence through education, not pressure
  • Convert more because they are grounded, prepared, and protected
  • Connect Ops and Sales into one space and not against each other

Recruiting, to me, isn’t about convincing someone to move.
It’s about alignment.

Alignment between values and vision.
Between how you work and how you want to live.
Between your talent and the platform supporting it.

Only after that alignment exists does conversion matter—because sustainable success is never forced. It’s built.

I work with professionals who care deeply about their clients, their reputation, and the legacy they’re creating. People who want a place where relationships are honored, performance is coached, and growth is intentional.

If you’re looking for leadership that understands both the human side of lending and the discipline required to scale—you’re in the right conversation.
