At Your Service

Securing Your American Dream

I began my career in real estate in 1989 as a Realtor and transitioned into the mortgage industry in 2000.  After working with several local and corporate national lenders, I founded Minuteman Mortgage in 2018.  The name was inspired by Paul Revere’s Minutemen—ordinary citizens who stood ready to serve their communities at a moment’s notice.  That same spirit of honor, service, and dedication guides everything we do today.

The most important things in my life are my faith, my family, and my freedom. God comes first, followed by my family—but you’ll still find me serving my clients and community almost every day. I don’t expect anything in return; helping others is simply part of who I am. I’ve been blessed with a beautiful wife and six wonderful children, all with families of their own, who remind me daily why service and integrity matter.

What really sets me apart in my field is accessibility and speed. When you have a question, I pick up the phone—even outside of business hours. My clients don’t get call centers or long waits; they get personal attention and fast results. I’m proud to say we close most loans in 21 calendar days or less, and often in as few as 10 days.

If there’s one piece of advice I could offer to any business owner, it’s this: always do the right thing.  If something goes wrong—whether it’s your fault or not—take ownership of it. Have the integrity to make it right. In the long run, character and honesty are what truly build trust and lasting success.

At Minuteman Mortgage, we’re more than a lender—we’re your neighbors, ready to serve with honor, integrity, and heart.
