Hi, I'm Dillon.

An independent mortgage broker, a yogi in training, a husband to one, and a dad to four. Here's the longer version.

How I got here

I didn't plan to become a mortgage broker.

I got into the business back in 2015. Honestly, it wasn't a career I was chasing — but I saw the flexibility it could offer me and my family, and I jumped in.

Almost ten years later, I'm still here for a different reason: I genuinely love being part of one of the biggest decisions a person ever makes.

There's something special about walking with people through that journey — first-time buyers who are nervous about everything, families upsizing as kids arrive, investors building toward a future. I get to be there from "should we even do this?" all the way to keys in hand. That's not a small thing. It's the part I'll never get tired of.


Why I do it my way

I almost left the industry once.

I was in a sales-heavy role and I didn't like what I saw. Too many people in this business treat clients like transactions — slow communication, generic advice, pushing the loan that's easiest for them instead of the one that's actually best for you.

I came close to walking away.

Instead, I decided I could do it better. The Mortgage Way is what that decision became — a way of doing mortgages that fits into your life instead of taking it over. Less paperwork chaos. Real answers, fast. You feel like you're working with a human who's in your corner, because you are.

"I want clients to feel like they're talking to a friend who happens to know mortgages — not a banker with a sales script."

Beyond the loans

Outside of work.

The work matters to me — but it's not who I am.

I'm a relatively spiritual person and a long-time yogi. I'm currently working on my yoga teacher training, which has been one of the most rewarding things I've taken on. When I'm not on the mat, I'm outside — cycling, working in the yard, and (especially) on the golf course.

Most importantly: four kids, two dogs, and a wife who keeps me grounded. They're the center of everything I do, and the reason flexibility mattered to me in this career in the first place.
