I’ve called Rancho Cucamonga home since 1987, when my family first moved here. I raised my own kids, a boy and a girl, in this city, built lifelong friendships, and probably eaten my way through every good local spot (twice). When I’m not working, you can find me at a local event, around a board game, or chasing after the next great taco.

Before I got into mortgage lending, I spent years in the non-profit financial space, partnering with credit unions to grow their membership and support their communities. That background and an excellent mentor shaped how I approach lending today—it’s never about quick, one-time deals. It’s about building trust, relationships, and helping people feel confident in big financial decisions.

When I bought my first home, the process felt like chaos. No one explained anything, I was constantly unsure of what was happening, and I felt like a nuisance just for asking basic questions. I didn’t know what I didn’t know, and no one made the effort to guide me through it. That experience stuck with me. It's exactly why I take an educational, people-first approach with every client I work with.
