Homesite Mortgage LLC
Mortgage Banker
Glad to have just completed my 22nd year originating mortgages. It's been a blessing to help so many clients and referral partners over the years.
Following mortgage backed securities markets in real time helps anticipate pricing changes and provide my clients with insight and sound advice. I also enjoy contributing to Mortgage News Daily, and have been quoted multiple times regarding mortgages in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Realtor.com, and the St Louis Post Dispatch.
If you want responsive service and reliable advice, I'm your guy.
How can I help you accomplish your goals today?

Work Experience
Mortgage Banker,
The Federal Savings Bank
June 2020 - Present (3 Years 9 Months)
Great to be back to national lending, with a full suite of lending products: aggressive jumbo pricing, VA, USDA, FHA, conventional loans, new construction financing, and a team experienced in closing loans nationally. Twenty years of lending went by in a flash!
Loan Officer,
Homesite Lending
March 2019 - March 2020 (1 Year)
Homesite is a Missouri lender, affiliated with Lombardo Homes. My experience with new construction loans helped me deliver superior service to my clients there. Due to my national referral network and client base, I moved to The Federal Savings Bank so I could resume writing loans nationally.
Senior Originator,
First Bank
July 2018 - March 2019 (7 Months)
I originate mortgages nationally, using agency guidelines and First Bank portfolio products. Great to have processing, underwriting, AND servicing all out of my local office here in St Louis!
Education
1976 - 1980
Iowa State University - Ames, Iowa
Ceramic Engineering
Graduated with a 3.24 GPA in a challenging curriculum. I greatly enjoyed the logic of engineering, and learning how to best solve problems of all kinds.
