About Scott

Veteran-led. MBA-educated. Genuinely invested in your home.

Your home is more than a financial milestone — it's where life happens. I bring the discipline of a US Army Veteran, the strategic thinking of an MBA, and the genuine care of someone who's helped countless clients turn that dream into a deed.

Military service shaped my core approach: integrity first, no shortcuts, and total commitment to the mission — which, in this case, is getting you the right loan for your home and your life.

My MBA from Ball State gives me a deep fluency in financial markets, so I can cut through complexity and explain your options in plain language — not mortgage-speak. Whether you're buying your first home, moving on up, or refinancing to a better rate, I work the details so you don't have to. Expect straight answers, a clear process, and a partner who's in your corner from application to closing.
