Derek and Christa are literally the best. I've worked with them 3 times now over the past 10 years and every experience has been a breeze. I would recommend them again and again.

About
Hello, I was born and raised in Petersburg West Virginia and moved to Delaware when I was 14. I graduated college from Salisbury University where I played baseball with a Major in Mass media communications and a minor in psychology. I moved to the DC region after college in 2002. I have lived in VA, DC and now Maryland where I reside with my wife and 2 girls. I am very familiar with each of these locations and I enjoy them all for different reasons. I have spent the majority of my professional career in the finance and mortgage industry. I love this business and I love working for Mortgage on a Mission/Vellum Mortgage.
