I am a long time Oregonian having lived in Portland since 1977. I attended Grant High School in NE Portland and Willamette University in Salem graduating with a BS in Political Science/Mathematics in 1990.
In 1991, I answered a post for a job as an underwriter for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. I have been in the mortgage industry ever since. As you can imagine, there have been a lot of changes in my industry since that time. Although it’s been challenging at times, I have really enjoyed getting the chance to work with consumers and business partners alike. I take great pride in doing everything possible to make sure my transactions close on time with as little stress as possible.
Please feel free to contact me at 503 496-0406 if you have any mortgage related questions or if you know of anyone that I can assist. My business is built entirely upon word of mouth.
