I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I grew up working on fishing boats as a third generation commerical fisherman. There I learned that hard work, dedication, pride, and integrity are a winning combination in any business. After attending Oregon State University, where I studied Business and Economics, I developed a passion for helping others. These passions eventually led me to the Mortgage Industry where I have the ability and privilege to help others on a daily basis. I take pride in working hard, paying attention to detail, and striving to give the greatest experience possible to my clients. I take an investors approach to the mortgage industry; helping clients create a plan, not only to accomplish their dreams of home ownership, but to move them towards financial freedom. In my free time, I compete as a National Level Mens Physique Competitor. I absolutely love coaching and training other competitors with my wife, Colby. I believe that physical fitness is just as important as financial fitness, and that the two go hand in hand. I also enjoy many different outdoor activities including, golf snowboarding, fishing, and hunting. I am very family oriented and love my "pet children" Griffin and Bella, both boxer dogs.
