I have been originating mortgage loans for over 26 years. I have a very basic philosophy about lending...treat everyone fairly and with respect. 

My business plan relies heavely on referals from Financial Planners, Attorneys, past clients and of course Realtors.

I am an active Rotarian, having served in the same club since 1995 as a past president and am a multiple Paul Harris Fellow.

In the local community I'm an former elected official (PARK DISTRICT COMMISSIONER) and advise on many civic groups.

I served in the United States Air Force for 5-years and spent most of my time in England with the 81st Combat Support Group, RAF Bentwaters. The GI Bill trained me to fly airplanes. I'm a Licensed Pilot with a Commercial Rating, Single and Multi Engine Land, Instrument, BGI. I have flown J3 Cubs to Diamond Stars. I learned to fly tail draggers in a 450 Stearman.

As a motorcycle enthusist (HD Sportster & Honda VTX1800) I ride with the PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS. I live in Lake County with my wife Dianne and Border Collie mix named Corky.
