about me

Welcome to my website, and congratulations on taking the first step to buy or refinancing your home. I look forward to putting my expertise and mortgage services to work for you.

If you are looking to apply for a mortgage and/or just looking to get “pre-approved” for a loan, please start by clicking the "Apply Now" button above. This will securely send me some of the required information in order to start the mortgage process and get you one step closer to obtaining your loan.

Please know that I’m here for you and ready to guide you through this mortgage process. Just remember there’s no such thing as a “stupid question” so feel free to ask away! I take pride in making sure your mortgage experience is not only a positive one but impressive enough to make you feel confident to refer your friends and family. There’s a good reason why I’m consistently surveyed as one of Connecticut’s top mortgage professionals via Connecticut Magazine.

Outside of Connecticut, I am also licensed in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, South Carolina, Florida, and Rhode Island.

Whether you are buying or refinancing, buying your first home, or building your dream home, I can explore with you the many options for financing. Feel free to apply online, or contact me to set up an appointment. Either way, you will get my immediate and personal attention.
