Born and raised in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, I originally moved to the La Crosse, Wisconsin area in 1986 to go to college. I fell in love with the area and the people, so I decided to stay when I graduated from Viterbo College.

I began my lending career as a Loans-by-Phones representative at First Federal Savings Bank in 1998. In the spring of 2001, I made a career move to Community Credit Union and began originating mortgage loans. The next year, I took an even bigger step and became a mortgage broker with a small company called Tri-State Financial Services where I've delivered personalized, professional loan consultations to clients of all credit standings and financial situations ever since.

I am truly passionate about my profession, and the result is that nearly 100% of my business is by referral from satisfied clients, trusted financial advisors and the most experienced realtors in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. My mission is to carefully guide my clients through the entire home loan process, so they feel confident as they make choices about the many options available for their financing strategy.

With over a decade and a wide range of experience in the financial and mortgage industry, I stand ready to assist my clients through each and every step of the way. A person's home is one of the largest financial commitments a person will make during their life, and many people view that as meaning just another monthly payment. I can help you realize that your home is truly a valuable financial tool, and will help you achieve the dreams and plans you envision for your future.

My clients only think about home financing a few times during their life ~ I think about it every single day. It's your home and your future. It's my profession and my passion. I am ready to work for your best interest.
