My Story
I was born in Raleigh NC in 1957.   I grew up with parents that loved to sail.  Our family spent many weekends in Oriental, a small sailing town in Eastern North Carolina.  We owned a 32’ Pearson Vanguard.  I fell in love with the water, boating, fishing, and everything about being on the water.  
I graduated from Wake Forest-Rolesville High School in 1975 and was accepted into the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.  I finished up at UNC and became a retail banker at Wachovia Bank.  After 2 years as a banker, I was invited to be a crew member on a 130’ J-Class Sailing Yacht that one of my fraternity brothers was a mate on.  At 22 years of age, I could not turn that opportunity down.  It was fantastic.  I spent the next 2 years sailing around the Caribbean and visiting most all the Islands from Puerto Rico down the island chain known as the Lesser Antilles.  What fun!  An unbelievable experience.
Next, I was accepted into the Wake Forest University MBA program.  I graduated and went to work for Hatteras Yachts as an International Sales Representative.  Over the next few years, I married and had a set of my own twins!  Later, Hatteras Yachts had me move on to a new dealership in Wrightsville Beach NC.  A few years later, a tough recession hit.  I had a family that required me to think about someone other than my self-absorbed love affair with boats.
I was selling big ticket items and needed to sell something that the public needed. That product was mortgages.  I have been in this industry ever since.  I have been a producing branch manager since 1995, over 29 years!  I love this occupation as I am putting people in their first homes facilitating their dreams coming true. I am helping people build wealth by restructuring their balance sheets and securing their retirements.  It is satisfying.
I am the father of 5 children.  One set of twin boys 35 years old, followed by a beautiful daughter, now 30, and another set of twin boys 19 years old and freshmen in college.  My wife and I still love boating and we have my mother’s family home near the water in Beaufort NC we regularly visit.  
I would love to assist anyone needing a mortgage.  I am very knowledgeable on this subject!  You think?
Cheers!
