Stephen was born in California, but spent most of his childhood in upstate New York. He moved to Columbia, MO after high school where he graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Stephen comes from a family with a strong military presence. His maternal grandfather served in WWII, his paternal grandparents served in the Korean War, his mother served in the Public Health Services and he has two brothers that are Marines, one whom is currently active. Stephen grew up working for the family construction company; strong work ethic is a very important value of his. When not at work proudly serving our veterans and active duty service members, Stephen prefers to spend his time outdoors either doing a water activity, bicycling or taking his two dogs out to go explore.

Stephen and his team are top notch. From start to finish, he made the process extremely easy and his communication was second to none. I would 100% recommend him to my veteran friends.
This is the second time that I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stephen and I’m so incredibly blessed because of it.While I was on deployment my wife saw a house that she really wanted and Veterans United got back to me first thing Monday morning (i submitted the questionnaire online late Saturday early Sunday). Most lenders didn’t get back to me until about Friday.Not only that, but i got preapproved that same Monday to put an offer into the house we have today. If it wasn’t for Stephen and his quick quality work, i don’t think that my wife and i would be in our dream home. Everytime i had questions about the process or even about the updates he always got back to me within 24 hours. As a buyer that is one of the things i value the most with a loan officer is effective communication.Not only that but his expertise helped guide me through the tricky VA process and unique situation of mine. He made the process seamless and I couldn’t be happier. We communicated mostly while i was deployed and the fact that I knew he was on my team really helped while i was out there. I am extremely grateful for his friendship and guidance throughout this process.
Stephen and Erin were phenomenal. They kept me informed and kept me on track. I greatly appreciate it.
Stephen took the extra time late at night to answer my calls and messages as I worked late. He worked hard to make sure I had a good interest rate the day they were cut. Would recommend him to any veteran as he really took the extra steps to make this experience great for me. Thanks again Stephen!

Stephen, Jesse, and Yohannes were truly amazing. This is the 3rd home I’ve purchased through VU, and my home buying experience has gotten better every time! Keep up the great work! I truly appreciate everyone’s effort.
