Personally: I have lived in Northern California for over 20 years, and love it! Over the last 10 years, I have married the love of my life, Heather, beat cancer, and traveled into the heart of Africa where my wife and I have been able to be part of and contribute to an amazing ministry educating orphans and give them hope where there did not seem to be any. If you want to learn more about this ministry, you're invited to visit www.themustardtreeministry.org. A percentage of every Redding (Shasta County) home mortgage loan we close goes to this ministry. Professionally: With over 20 years of experience and training as a Redding home mortgage loan lender in Shasta County, I pride myself on being able to find mortgage plans for everyone from first time home buyers to seasoned real estate investors. Becoming one of the highest producing home mortgage loan officers in the country in less than 5 years of originating, I work with passion to educate my clients on the best strategies to meet their long-term and short-term financial goals through real estate finance. This is a tough industry to work in, and although I am not perfect (no company is) we have a reputation for "getting loans done that others couldn't".
