Mortgage Consultant

College Major: B.S. International Business Administration (IBA)

My Story: I have been creating homeownership since 1994.  Upon graduating from college, I was immediately recruited by Transamerica Corporation's extensive Management Training Program which exposed me to every facet of consumer lending.  Having worked as a Manager for Transamerica, an Underwriter and Operations Manager for GreenPoint Financial and Loan Originator for the largest retail bank in the nation, my vast mortgage experience and passion for loan quality are a driving force behind my motivation.  During periods of extreme real estate volatility, having the ability to pick up the phone and call my past customers to learn that they are comfortably residing in the same home, and the same loan, is very rewarding to me.  I have been named “Preferred Lender" by Designated Counsel for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as well as New Home Builders and Real Estate Agents located throughout California, Arizona, Nevada, and Hawaii.


Hobbies: When not fixing broken sprinkler heads at my Poway residence, I enjoy spending quality time with friends and family in Lake Arrowhead during the summer months and Vail, CO. during the winter months.
