Welcome to my website

Hello!  My name is Tim, and I am the branch manager at the HomeTrust Amarillo office.  I started out as a lending assistant with a local bank and a year later I became a licensed loan officer.  After working for the bank for two years I found HomeTrust Mortgage, the best day of my professional career.  For the first seven years at HomeTrust I was a loan officer in the Lubbock branch and have now moved to Amarillo to open the new branch.  I get a great deal of satisfaction working at HomeTrust where we are a family and where everyone is important and valued no matter their position or tenure.  Additionally, waking up every morning knowing that my job is to help make the American Dream a reality for as many people as I can, is also very rewarding.

I grew up in Dumas, TX and graduated from Texas Tech University.  I am married to an incredible woman who is my best friend and the amazing mother to our three-year-old and future singing and ballet star Isabella.  My hobbies include cooking, playing piano, working outside with Isabella, and purchasing rare documents, coins, and unique one-of-a-kind items from auction houses around the world.
