Meet Chris
I began my mortgage career in 1996 after earning my economics degree from UC Santa Cruz. Since then, I have helped hundreds of clients buy homes and refinance with financing built around their goals.
My business is referral-driven. The best measure of my work is whether clients feel confident sending their friends and family to me next.

Proud U.S. Army veteran. Honored to serve military veterans.
As a U.S. Army veteran, I am especially honored to help fellow veterans and military families pursue homeownership. I take the time to explain VA loan benefits, answer questions clearly and help each borrower understand the financing options available to them.
