A little about myslef

With over 30 years of mortgage experience and a lifetime of service to the Barstow and High Desert communities, I've dedicated my career to helping families achieve the dream of homeownership. I take pride in providing honest guidance, personalized service, and the experience needed to help my clients purchase homes, refinance loans, and build long-term financial security.

As a licensed mortgage professional with Golden Empire Mortgage and a Certified Mortgage Adviser, I specialize in helping first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, veterans, and homeowners looking to refinance. My knowledge of lending guidelines, local market conditions, and creative financing strategies allows me to provide smooth transactions and mortgage solutions tailored to each client's unique goals.

Born and raised in Barstow, I have deep roots in the community and strong relationships throughout Barstow, Victor Valley, and the surrounding areas. I believe in honest advice, clear communication, and making the mortgage process as simple and stress-free as possible.

In addition to my mortgage career, I am proud to serve as the Mayor of Barstow after previously serving four terms on the City Council. My years of public service reflect the same leadership, accountability, and commitment that I bring to every client relationship.

Throughout my career, I've been honored to receive several recognitions, including Golden Empire Mortgage's Presidents Circle for top closings, Affiliate of the Year from the Barstow Association of Realtors, Man of the Year from the Barstow Chamber of Commerce, and the Barstow Police Department Medal of Excellence.

Whether I'm helping a first-time buyer take the first step toward homeownership or assisting a longtime homeowner with new opportunities, I'm committed to providing the experience, trust, and hometown values my clients deserve.
