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 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.
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.
Not a stock photo in sight.
Because you should know what you're getting. This is me, actually me, not a headshot stitched onto a rate sheet.
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 or working on mortgages, I'm outside, cycling, working in the yard, or anywhere I can get some time in nature.
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.
