I have been in a leadership role in the customer service industry for over 17 years and have a passion for helping others. I was born and raised in the St. Louis area and graduated from the University of Missouri – St. Louis with a B.S. in Business Administration - Finance.
My wife Chrissy and I have three amazing kids: Ricky, Adam, and Mackenzie. In my free time I volunteer at my church, help coach my kids’ sports, and enjoy playing golf. I love to listen to Cardinals baseball on the radio and watch both college and professional football.
My father fought in the Vietnam War and my brother-in-law spent 20 years in the Navy. Because of their service, I’m inspired to serve those who have served us. As an expert in the VA loan, I am excited to help Veterans get into their dream home.

Overall, the loan process itself was relatively smooth and straightforward. Most steps were handled efficiently, and the application process was easy to navigate.However, our experience with the assigned loan coordinator, Samantha Villaire, was extremely frustrating and ultimately the most challenging part of the entire process. Communication was consistently lacking, with long periods of no response and little to no guidance when we had questions or needed clarification. This left us feeling uncertain and unsupported throughout much of the loan timeline.The lack of communication became especially concerning as we approached closing. From start to finish, we were never given a clear understanding of where we stood in the process, and we did not receive meaningful updates until the day before we were cleared to close.Fortunately, another loan officer, Emily Hunkins, stepped in during the final stage while our original loan officer was on vacation. Her responsiveness and willingness to help made a significant difference and ultimately helped us get across the finish line.While the overall loan process was manageable, the communication issues we experienced with the loan coordinator made what should have been a straightforward experience far more stressful than necessary.
Our loan team was phenomenal very patient and very knowledgeable when we had questions
The team has been super helpful and communicative throughout the entire process and very patient as it was my first time going through the process
