Movement Mortgage

I have lived in Oregon for over 45 years. I have had the pleasure of living in Central Oregon since 1999 and feel blessed to call this place home. I have a wonderful Wife and Four great Kids. I enjoy taking in the outdoors with my family, both locally and internationally when I am not serving my clients or enjoying a great meal with friends and family. Over my long tenure in the mortgage industry and recognized as a top producing loan officer, I have built a large portfolio of clients and have gained immeasurable experience with numerous loan scenarios. I have always enjoyed Real Estate and personal invest in residential and commercial real estate. Having knowledge in the financial portion of the business allows me to advise my clients with experience from both sides of the transaction. I also take a look at my client’s whole financial picture and how their mortgage can help them create immediate tax savings and long term financial wealth. I take great pride in offering my clients the best financing options for their Real Estate Loans. I feel confident that I offer competitive rates, personal service, and added value to the clients I serve. Being a mortgage loan officer in today’s industry requires honesty, hard work, and persistence to stay on top of the constant change in the lending world. Let me serve you on your next home mortgage and you will see the difference I will offer compared to that of other mortgage company’s and banks. From the First-time home buyer to the savvy investor, I will work diligently to help you accomplish your goals. I have a great passion for what I do, and I look forward to serving your mortgage needs in the future.
