Couple of cool things going on. I have just been named a 5 Star Loan Officer by St Louis Magazine, and have also joined Wintrust Mortgage as MetLife ended their mortgage operations.

About Me

Honest answers and advice are what I strive to deliver to all my clients. While other lenders have pitched high cost loans to clients, I have often told them to sit tight and wait until I can get their target rate without paying $1000's in points. I follow the real time mortgage backed securities market to help predict market changes for the worse and for the better.

If you want your answers honest and straightforward, I'm your guy. If you want liars rates and high points, I would suggest calling the folks on the radio or in the newspaper ads. I would rather under promise and over deliver than the opposite!

I was formerly at MetLife Home Loans, but now that Met has pulled the plug on its mortgage operation, I have joined Wintrust, a well respected bank from Chicagoland as they open their first St Louis area branches. Thanks to all for their help!

Glad to be named a 2011 5 Star loan officer by a poll of St Louis Magazine readers. Thanks to my clients for their great feedback!

Thanks,

Employment History

Mortgage Consultant, MetLife Home Loans
Public;500 + employees;Mortgage
September 2008 - January 2012 (3 Years 5 Months)

I've been a loan officer for 11 years, and joined MetLife Home Loans in Sept 2008 when they bought my prior employer, First Horizon Home Loans. I look at the loan process from an engineering standpoint (BS, Ceramic Engineering, Iowa State University, 1980). Loans are like jigsaw puzzles, and I work hard at identifying what pieces are relevent to each loan prior to submitting the loan. By doing that, I am able to not only help my clients understand how their loan will proceed, but also feel comfortable that they were completely informed on all aspects of their loan from the start. MetLife ended their mortgage operations 1/31/2012, and my staff and myself are joining Wintrust Mortgage, but with same office and phone # (after a brief switchover).

Glad to join the Wintrust Mortgage team, and still continue to work with my great processing staff from MetLife. Writing loans in all 50 states will be a plus, as will Wintrust's great loan options!
