Simply take good care of people and do right by them. If you treat each person with the same care and respect you would a close friend or family member, you will end up surrounding yourself by people of high character who do the same for you.

I would love someday to have watched a game in each major league baseball stadium.
I love the opportunity to build long term relationships with the people I work for. Getting the chance to do many loans over the years for repeat clients or with realtor partners who share the same respect and appreciation for me as I do for them makes the work very fulfilling and a lot of fun.

I enjoy playing golf, watching the Chiefs and Royals, reading a good book, and enjoying great food and drink with family and friends.
Before getting my start in mortgage I was the head coffee buyer and roaster for a large regional coffee roaster in the Midwest – working with coffee farmers, importing raw coffee, developing roasting recipes and making sure the coffee came out tasting delicious. It was a fun and fascinating job!
