After retiring from the Marine Corps, had an egregious experience with the sale of first home by losing out on $19,000.00 from the sale of the home and decided to pursue becoming a loan officer.  During my tenure as a residential loan officer, worked at multiple locations where I was able to complete & fund over 353 transactions; during this time, I was a recipient of multiple accommodations for superior performance and exceeding expectations.  Most of which was to ensure those that are active-duty members of the Department of Defense (DoD) and those that are now Veterans of DoD do not experience any negativity while pursuing their dreams of owning a home.  Specializing in the prevention of mortgage fraud through social media reels, free consultations, and a subject matter expert (SME) for different first-time home buyer classes.    During this time, I was received the following recognitions for radio and television:

 

– December 2021: appeared on Close Up TV/Radio and was interviewed by Doug Llewelyn.

– May 2023 to June 2024: appeared three times on ABC-15’s The Home Hunter hosted by Tiffany Hunter with these segments receiving over 17 different viewings.
