Over my 25+ year career, I’ve helped thousands of homeowners purchase homes in Arizona. I am the co-owner of Lender Express, an award-winning, multi-state mortgage brokerage based in Arizona that offers a full range of mortgage products.
I began my lending career in 1996 as a bilingual mortgage loan officer at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage while attending Arizona State University. After earning my degree in accounting from ASU, I worked as an Auditor at Ernst & Young in Phoenix. During my time there, I obtained my mortgage broker’s license and started originating loans on the side while my wife took a break from her career to care for our second child. After a few months, I realized the value of leaving public accounting behind and dedicating myself to a full-time career in mortgage lending, serving both English- and Spanish-speaking clients.
In 2007, I converted my first brokerage into a branch of a local mortgage banker, which allowed me to expand my reach and better serve my clients. Over the years, I managed high-producing offices and built successful teams, helping many homebuyers secure the financing they needed. However, in 2020, I decided to reopen my brokerage, Lender Express, with a renewed focus on providing personalized service and a full range of mortgage products. This move has allowed me to continue growing as a leader in the industry and deliver exceptional results for my clients.
Throughout my career, I’ve enjoyed helping homebuyers secure the best financing options available while leading top-producing origination teams. I take pride in identifying potential obstacles in the loan approval process and addressing them before they become challenges for my clients. My mission is to minimize the stress and anxiety that can come with the homebuying experience so my clients can focus on the joy of purchasing their home.
In addition to originating loans, I’ve also:
- Worked as a licensed instructor teaching pre-licensing and continuing education courses for mortgage and real estate professionals
- Spoken at national mortgage tech conferences
- Written multiple online articles that rank highly on Google
- Generated hundreds of thousands of exclusive mortgage leads through both organic and paid online advertising strategies.
I’m married with three daughters and a granddaughter. In my free time, you’ll likely find me attending my daughter’s volleyball games.
