Born & raised in Virginia Beach. Graduated from Cape Henry Collegiate (1989) & University of Richmond (1993) with a business & finance degree, and started in the mortgage industry right after college. My family was in the residential building & real estate development business, so this was a perfect fit for me. I was fortunate enough to have started with Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group in 1997, and have enjoyed a successful career, helping over 3,000 families achieve the American dream of homeownership. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, entertaining at home, attending local college sports, and going to the beach.
