I've been in the mortgage industry since 2000, but my roots in this business go back even further — 14 years working in title and escrow before that. That background gives me a perspective most loan officers simply don't have. I understand the full picture of a real estate transaction, not just the lending side, and that makes a real difference for my clients.
With over 30 years in related fields, I genuinely love what I do. I'm passionate about making sure you understand every step of the process — not just handing you paperwork and hoping for the best. Whether you're buying your first home, refinancing, self-employed, or picking up an investment property or vacation home, I'm here to find the right fit for your situation and walk you through it.
I'm a state-approved Home Buyer Education instructor and write The Mortgage Porter, a nationally recognized mortgage blog. My work has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR, CNBC, Bankrate, and other national outlets — and I've been honored by my peers with the WAMP Leadership & Humanitarian Award as one of Washington state's top Mortgage Originators, four years running.
Most of my business comes from referrals and returning clients, which I take as the highest compliment. My goal isn't just to get you to closing — it's to be your go-to resource long after the ink dries.
When I'm not working, you'll find me painting, gardening, making a glorious mess in the kitchen, or spending time with our adult kids.
I'd love the chance to work with you.
