I’ll be with you every step of the way

Hi, I’m John! I’ve been in the mortgage industry since 2001. For the past 24 years, I’ve had the honor of helping thousands of families make confident, informed decisions on one of life’s biggest milestones: buying a home. Home financing is more than my career — it’s my passion.

 

My mission is to create an exceptional homebuying experience, not just for my clients, but for everyone involved in the process. I take pride in listening, understanding each client’s unique goals and crafting a personalized strategy to get them over the finish line. Backed by America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, I bring the knowledge, tools and support to help turn your dreams into reality.

Originally from Fort Worth, TX, I met my amazing wife Katie at TCU. We married in 1999 and settled in Austin the following year. We have two awesome sons, Trey (17) and Tyler (13), who keep us on our toes. I love golfing, traveling and unwinding at our family cabin in the New Mexico mountains.

Let’s make home happen together!
