Being in the mortgage industry means I get to help others achieve the dream of homeownership. There's nothing I love more than finding a better rate than our competitors, providing my client with the right loan and using our industry-leading technology to help them close quickly. I especially enjoy my role because of the people that I get to work with. We get to make serious impacts on people's lives, whether it be by saving them money or allowing them to buy an investment home to finalize their financial goals and plans that they have worked so hard to achieve. While both of those are great reasons to be in the industry, there is nothing more rewarding then seeing a homebuyer who was stressed and anxious about the purchase of a home, being handed the keys at closing. In addition, I take considerable pride adhering to our core values, especially when it comes to bias to action. This allows me to try and stay ahead of any potential issues that arise during the loan process. Everything that is vetted and verified upfront is one less issue that could affect the ability of my borrower to obtain this home.

I am a second generation real estate industry professional and have been in this industry since the late 80's. I started when the interest rates were in the teens and have seen all kinds of markets since then, both booms and busts, and learned plenty from all of them. Started off as a real estate agent but realized very early that my true talent is in finance. My passion is the numbers, making them work for my customers. Financing can be confusing if you are not familiar with it. Add in the ever changing underwriting guidelines and you have a recipe for frustration. My mission is to make sure that every customer understands the numbers and also the mortgage process so when we get to closing they are absolutely, positively comfortable with not only the end result, but how we got there. If they are not yelling from the rooftops about what a great experience they had, I feel like I did not do my job to the best of my ability. Communication and Education are the key to a successful closing and long term relationships with my customers. I am very proud of all the 5 star reviews that I have earned over the years and wear them like a badge of honor. The greatest compliment I can receive is when my customers refer a family member or friend for their next mortgage.  
I've been married for over 27 years to a wonderful woman who puts up with my crazy work hours and we have 2 incredible kids. My favorite activities are riding motorcycles, fishing, road trips to anywhere, and swimming in our pool. I am also kind of a tech geek and love gadgets.

I am a native of Portland, Maine with my early adolescence spent on the shores of Sebago Lake in Raymond, ME (the childhood home of the great American Novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne, for those keeping track). In 2004, after three years spent on the Chestnut Hill campus and one year spent abroad in Paris, France, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Boston College with degrees in Philosophy and Theology along with a minor in French. I currently live with my wife and three children (all of the four-legged variety) in Bellingham, Massachusetts. I'm an avid reader, animal lover, traveler, and physical fitness enthusiast.  
I've been in the mortgage industry since 2006 in various capacities including loan officer, team lead, and branch manager. I'm a two-time Scotsman Guide Top Originator.

Moreover, if buying/refinancing isn't in your best interest, I'll be the first to admit it and hopefully help you understand why. I guess that's the beauty of math…numbers don't lie!
