Welcome to my website

I am the Regional Production Manager at the HomeTrust Austin North location.  With a commitment to the philosophy of "a customer for life" for the past 30 years, I have been helping clients realize the American Dream of home ownership.  It has been a blessing to close loans for families throughout generations over the decades for their home financing.  It is truly the ultimate compliment. 

I graduated from the University of Texas in Austin and started my career in Houston, where I was born and raised.  In 2014, I moved back to Austin with my wife of 37 years, plus our two cats and one dog.  I have two adult children and when I am not working, I love to play golf, visit the Texas Hill Country and travel.

I am a member of the Houston Mortgage Bankers Association, the Austin Mortgage Bankers Association as well as being a distinguished member of HomeTrust’s President’s Club.
