I was born and raised in South Dakota. I love living here and can’t imagine myself anywhere else. I currently reside in Rapid City and grew up in Fort Pierre. I graduated from Stanley County High School in 1988 and earned Bachelor’s Degree in Business from National American University in Rapid City. I have four awesome kids and two grandkids that keep me motivated and very busy when not working, Chelsea (& Clover), Lizzie (& Max) Dawson and Jamison. In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, something we here in South Dakota value highly. You’ll often find me swinging away on the golf course, fishing in our many lakes and rivers or out in the fields hunting pheasants and deer. I have over 20 years lending experience and have assisted thousands of people achieve their financial dreams. There is no loan scenario that I have not come across at one time or another. Unlike other lenders, when I meet a new customer I look for ways to get the deal done rather than looking for ways to NOT get it done. I am a Certified Military Housing Specialist. A designation received from USA Cares, an organization dedicated to assisting military families. I am also a member of Vetted VA Professionals, a national group of professional mortgage loan officers committed to serving our nation’s active duty and retired military personnel and families. The military is a vital part of our local economy and I am proud to be a partner with USA Cares and Vetted VA Professionals. My support staff and the company I work for are the best…bar none!! It is my goal to make your home ownership dreams come true and make the process as quick and hassle free as possible.
