About

I am a Denver native and I have worked in the real estate and mortgage industry since 1984.

As a dedicated public servant, I am passionate about the arts and have served on numerous boards and commissions.  As past Chairman of the Colorado Real Estate Appraisers Board, I have a broad understanding of the appraisal industry and I know how to work to maximize the Realtor, lender, appraiser dynamic.  I am presently a member of the board of directors for the Denver Art Museum and served as a Mayoral appointee on the “Architect Selection Committee” for the expansion of the Denver Art Museum.  In 2003, I received the “Juanita Ross Gray Award for Community Service” presented by the Denver Public Library.

Outside of my professional and community interest, I have a deep interest in equestrian sports, motor sports, cycling, and antiquarian book collecting; in particular the works of Winston Churchill.

I am committed to adding value for my clients and referral partners throughout the mortgage process and beyond the closing. By utilizing a unique consultative approach to gain understanding of my client’s long term and short-term goals, I am able to deliver tremendous value for my clients and referral partners.

In 2005, I was awarded the professional designation of Certified Mortgage Lender (CML) by the Colorado Mortgage Lenders Association.

I am the producer and host of “The Real Estate Today Show.” The program is a call in talk format and features guest from the real estate and mortgage banking community.

I have spent more than twenty years adding value for my clients though the sound application of financial planning principals when consulting on a real estate transaction. The mortgage industry has changed significantly over the past decade with the introduction of a broader range of loan products than available in prior years. In addition, we have seen the interest rate market decline to levels not seen in forty years making homeownership affordable to a wider range of individuals. We recognize the need to provide comprehensive advice delivered in a manner that is convenient to today’s homeowner or real estate investor. This realization has resulted in the creation of the Real Estate Today! radio program.

My mission through the radio broadcast is to add value for our listeners and to be a unique provider of useful information concerning real estate. I invite my listeners to engage with us and help us build the community of individuals who have benefited from our commitment to excellence in real estate.
