I began my mortgage career in 2003 after serving in the United States Army. Since then, I've dedicated my career to helping individuals and families achieve homeownership while building long-term wealth through real estate. 

In 2012, I joined Total Mortgage and helped launch the company's first true retail branch in Fairfield, Connecticut. Over the years, I've had the privilege of serving thousands of homebuyers while growing into my current role as Executive Vice President of Sales.

Today, I continue to personally originate loans because I believe staying active in the business makes me a better leader. Every strategy, marketing idea, and process I teach has been tested through my own business and client experience.

As Executive Vice President of Sales, I'm passionate about helping loan officers build sustainable, long-term careers. Throughout my leadership journey, I've helped coach and develop loan officers to more than $100 million in annual production by focusing on proven systems, referral strategies, marketing, accountability, and efficient processes—not just motivation. I believe success comes from creating repeatable habits that produce consistent results.

Whether I'm working with a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned real estate investor, or mentoring a loan officer looking to take their business to the next level, my approach is the same: lead with integrity, communicate clearly, and always put people first.

My team and I are committed to delivering an exceptional client experience built on education, responsiveness, and attention to detail. We offer financing solutions for first-time buyers, move-up buyers, investors, self-employed borrowers, and clients looking for creative lending strategies to achieve their goals.

Outside of work, I'm passionate about family, fitness, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and giving back to the communities we serve. I believe discipline, consistency, and service are the foundation of success—in business and in life. Whether you're looking for a trusted mortgage advisor or you're a producing loan officer seeking a platform that truly invests in your growth, I'd love the opportunity to connect and help you achieve your goals.

TJ was exactly what I needed for my house refinance. He explained the whole process and was able to get it done quick. Was always available for any questions and got it done. Thanks

Spoke to about six lenders when getting ready to purchase my first home. It felt impossible to navigate being self employed. When I found Thomas all that confusion came to an end. He guided me step by step through the pre approval process. When it came to start looking at houses Thomas and his team at Total Mortgage were able to get pre approvals on specific homes in hours at times which blew me away and put me ahead of the pack when there were multiple offers. When we found and pulled the trigger on our home we found something absolutely perfect. Honestly better than we thought we’d be able to afford or attain. Once the offer was made the full approval process moved so fast. Communication was insanely easy. They were the only people in the process that felt like they were really on our side. I really appreciated how fast we got answers and solutions. They clearly are well organized because they never missed a beat on any question. Big thanks to Thomas and the crew at Total Mortgage.

Tom Bepko carefully took us through every step of the mortgage process. Every detail was clear and whenever there was a document to sign we received a specific notice so that everything happen on time and was executed in a timely manner. As a “mature” couple one might think we should have been shopping for a condo. Tom listened to our wishes and helped us find the house we desired. Without a doubt, Tom gets at least 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
