As a proud resident of Myrtle Beach since 1996, I’ve witnessed the growth and beauty of this coastal paradise firsthand. My wife and I moved here with our two grown children, and we’re now delighted grandparents. Whether it’s a sunny day on the tennis court, a round of golf, or a relaxing stroll along the beach, we cherish every moment spent outdoors with our family.
After graduating from the University of Maryland in 1986, I embarked on my mortgage career, and I’ve never looked back. With decades of experience, I’ve honed my skills to provide top-notch service that consistently exceeds expectations. Being recognized as a top 1% originator in the country since 2016 by Mortgage Executive Magazine is both an honor and a testament to my commitment to excellence.
My philosophy is simple: service first. When clients choose me as their mortgage advisor, they’re placing their trust in me to navigate the complexities of the home financing process. Whether it’s a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned investor, or someone refinancing their existing loan, I’m dedicated to ensuring a smooth closing. Your dreams of homeownership are my priority.
I believe in the power of collaboration. By partnering closely with the real estate community along the Grand Strand, I can serve a diverse range of customers. Whether you’re looking for a beachfront condo, a family home, or an investment property, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s turn your real estate aspirations into reality!
