I was approached by a former co-worker about an opportunity to work for a Mortgage Broker in Kansas City and began there in 2002.

The biggest challenge is staying on top of the changes that are continuously happening and the biggest opportunity is all of the great people I have been able to meet and form relationships and friendships with that may not have happened otherwise.

Spending time with family and friends and watching my son in all of his sporting activities!
