With over 25 years of experience in the mortgage industry, he has built a reputation for personalized guidance and trustworthy service. Born in Stockton, CA, Mike chose to enter the military within a year of graduating high school. Several of his family members before him had served, so it seemed like a natural fit. While he intended to make the military a career, the universe had other plans. Two blown knees early in his enlistment made the job he held in the Air Force almost impossible to continue. Not wanting to be moved to a desk job, he chose to exit the military after completing his 4-year commitment. His passion for those who were serving or had served remained close to his heart. A friend in the mortgage industry offered Mike a job. Having no mortgage background, nor sales experience of any kind, it would be a leap of faith. The opportunity to have schedule flexibility and uncapped earning potential was extremely tempting. But it was the chance to work with current and former military member to help them realize the dream of home ownership was the deciding factor. He quickly excelled is the position and soon became an expert in VA, FHA, and conventional lending, and later reverse mortgages. Over the years, he has helped hundreds of families navigate major financial decisions with clarity and care. Outside of work, Mike enjoys golf, hiking, and travel with his wife. He’s especially passionate about supporting seniors who want to age in place with dignity and comfort. Whether working with clients or collaborating with professionals from other industries that share the same values and can bring benefit to those he wants to help, Mike brings warmth, professionalism, and a deep sense of purpose to every interaction.
