I started in the mortgage industry in 1998, beginning with a retail bank and onto being a top producer in wholesale mortgage lending. In 2007, I started RFA Capital
Corp. With my 20+ years experience I leverage my relationships with multiple lenders and structure and tailor the loan to best suit each client’s needs. I was born and raised in Westchester County, New York. I live in New Canaan, Connecticut with my wife and three young boys. Besides a love for my family and my business, I enjoy rigorous exercise including cycling, calisthenics and isometrics. I’m licensed in the states of New York, Connecticut, and Florida.

Last summer I started interning at RFA Capital Corp. and I really enjoyed my experience. During  this past year I then got licensed to be an MLO in the states of New York and Connecticut so I  could start full time when I graduated. Once I graduated from Loyola University in Maryland, this  past May, I jumped right into the business and have learned a lot fast! I grew up in Easton,  Connecticut and lived there for my whole life until I graduated from Joel Barlow High School.  Once I graduated I moved to New Canaan, Connecticut and have lived there ever since. I have  always enjoyed family, friends, and traveling. Some of my favorite activities are tennis, skiing  and just being outdoors in general. I am so excited to start this new chapter in my life at RFA  Capital Corp!

I graduated Bachelor Business Administration – concentrate in Accounting from Texas A&M San Antonio. I was a tax preparer, account payable, and administration for accounting office before jumping into the mortgage industry.

I am personally a self employed more than 12 years. That’s why I specialize structuring traditional Conventional, and Non-QM products for self employed borrowers.
