My 30+ years’ experience in the financial industry has allowed me to assist hundreds of families achieve the dream of home ownership. I retired Jan. 2020 from Academy, and realized I missed helping others become homeowners or refinance their current mortgage. I came out of retirement to help others and Academy is the place!
Academy is all about service, and our company has been meeting the needs of homebuyers across the United States since 1988. I returned to work for Academy because of its strong reputation for integrity-based mortgage lending, its unwavering commitment to responsible lending practice, and for its broad portfolio of mortgage solutions and tools.

I will be in control of your loan file from start to finish and will give you up-to-date status of your loan at all times. I understand the importance of maintaining continuous communication throughout the loan process and commit to providing you accurate, timely, and honest mortgage advise.
I look forward to working with you.
