About Me

What is your area of lending expertise?

I have over 13+ years of Commercial Lending experience, specializing in Lending operations, sales and management. I have built up a strong expertise in Commercial real estate and C&I lending over the years. I enjoy working within the Business Banking Sector due to the fact that you get to work with many businesses in all aspects of lending and commercial banking. Watching clients grow and be successful with the help I am able to guide them with is a huge highlight for me. I also feel the fast-paced environment of business Banking fits more my style of work; always looking for more relationships and what next challenge is around the corner.

What sets your bank apart in how we serve our lending customers?

My Team and I have had a very strong focus over the last 4 years on building a Business Banking Department that is built on strong customer service and the creation of products that can help make Commercial Banking smoother for Businesses. We have a great lending product for commercial real estate as well as for C&I lending that streamlines the process for quicker approvals and close times. We have also put in a lot of efforts to work with the SBA and build a well rounded 504 and 7a small process to help those business that are considered a bit riskier.

What hobbies or activities do you enjoy?

My hobbies are spending unless time with my 6 children .. playing sports , fishing , camping pretty much anything outdoors and of course practicing wrestling skills when my wife allows it . The little alone time that I do manage to get would be geared around health and fitness. It’s a passion of mine since I was a teen and has always stuck with me throughout the years. I love teaching not just my family but others on goals for a healthier outlook on life through wellness, working out and even nutrition. Just like in Lending everyone is different and have different obstacles to overcome or fine tune to become better.
