I have 20 years of experience in the mortgage lending and financial services industry, along with my MBA.  I have been a part of the Iowa Mortgage Association President's Club for ten consecutive years and have been published as a National Mortgage News Top Producer. I have a strong commitment to providing exceptional member service with a high degree of professionalism. My focus means complete, transparent communication.

I encourage questions, along with feedback, and take extra care in ensuring you are educated about all potential options concerning your lending experience. The thought of getting a mortgage loan can be overwhelming. My lending teammate Kimberly Funk and I have worked together closely for the past 8 years. Kimberly has over 20 year’s of experience across a diverse range of financial services ranging from management and sales to member relations. Together we have created a streamlined lending process by providing all the tools you need to make sure your home purchasing journey become a reality.

I was born and raised in Clear Lake, IA. Any free time I have is spent with my family. I am married to my wife Stephanie who works in medical research studying endocrinology. We have three daughters and love spending time watching them grow up. The girls participate in dance, tumbling, and the Des Moines Symphony Academy Orchestra. We enjoy traveling and visiting new places to gain valuable new experiences. Together we enjoy boating, camping, swimming, and any activity that involves the outdoors. My family also enjoys visiting the Iowa State Fair every summer. I personally run in various half marathon road races, and recently completed my first full marathon back in 2023. I am a very enthusiastic and positive person who enjoys helping others. I look forward to meeting and working with you soon!
