My Story :
I am currently going on my 5th year with U.S. Bank. I was given the opportunity to work hands on in every position of the retail branch before advancing to Branch Manager of the U.S. Bank Orenco Station Branch in Hillsboro, OR. It was in this high growth area concentrated with businesses in the manufacturing and hi-tech industries that I first found my true passion. Building relationships and being an advocate for Small Businesses in my community.
Naturally I progressed into a new position a little over a year later where I now have the opportunity to spend all of my time working with Business owners to help make their Commercial Real Estate and other credit needs a reality. I have since worked from office locations in SE Portland off of Woodstock Blvd and now out of our newest Branch addition in West Linn.
I share this story because I truly believe that all Commercial Loan Officers ultimately do the same thing and provide similar products or services. What truly differentiates one from another is the relationship built and the experience provided. These relationships are built on the same fundamentals as any other,
Trust, Communication, Honesty and Belief.
I pride myself on being my clients biggest advocate and allow my passion for Small Business to become a passion for the success of my clients.

I have a friend who is buying a new construction home and they didn’t know they should have it inspected.
We had a contractor out for an evaluation of some repairs our house needs and it really totaled up to more than we were planning on. Do you think we should get a second opinion?
We own a rental house. We had it inspected and what peace of mind to know it is in good shape and what things we need to fix to save thousands.
We had a home inspector out to check out our house since he does not do repairs. I like the independence from an inspector since they don’t do the repairs.

I called my Insurance Agent last Tuesday and he hasn’t called me back.
This is an awesome (restaurant/store/business). Who handles your insurance?
I love your home. I just did a review on my policy and found out I was underinsured. Have you checked your policy?

Isn’t this Real Estate Market crazy?
I wish I could figure out how much I could get for my house.

I wonder how I get rid of all this junk.
I bet it would be nice to be able to use your garage for the car.
Cleaning out that attic would sure bring back memories going through that stuff.
I know a guy who will pull all that junk out of your basement so you don’t have to.

Did you know that cleaning your carpet usually costs less than a major grocery shopping trip, when my carpet cleaner is called into most homes.
Yes, you think you need to replace your carpets, but you would really be surprised how much better they can look right now until you can afford to replace them.
Are you replacing your carpet because you want to or think you have to?

What’s going on with tax protected investments, these days???
Everyone is talking about the Fiscal Cliff. Do you think that will happen?
My biggest concern is that I will outlive my money.

I have a bad smell at my house I just can’t figure out.
My toilet does not flush correctly every time.
I called a plumber and their prices were “very high.”
