I've been involved in real estate lending for the past six years, both as a loan officer and an account executive for a private lender. I advise on residential mortgage lending, commercial lending, reverse mortgages and private lending. I have secured financing for many clients whose profiles are outside the spectrum of traditional lending.
Prior to working in the real estate lending business, I was a derivatives trader in Chicago and San Francisco for 13 years.
I live in Marin County--just north of San Francisco--with my wife, Amy and my two sons, Aidan and Kellen. I enjoy fitness and the outdoors. I'm attempting to master the game of golf---to no avail……

I am a San Francisco Bay Area-based mortgage loan originator focusing on full-service real estate brokerage.  With our large selection of lenders, Lend Smart is able to satisfy the needs of the most ‘basic’ borrowers, as well as those who require alternative, “outside the box” lending options.  My creativity and knowledge of finance has allowed me to assist those who never thought home ownership was within reach.  If you are thinking about a primary purchase, refinance, buying a second home or investment property, contact me to go over your situation and see what your best options are.
