Meet Chris

With over 24 years in the mortgage industry and certification as a Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP), I bring a personalized, detail-oriented approach to every transaction. Whether assisting traditional homebuyers or guiding clients through the complexities of divorce-related real estate transactions, my goal is to make the process smooth and stress-free. As a CDLP, I provide tailored guidance to clients navigating property division, helping them make informed decisions during challenging times.

Mentor, Respected Industry Leader

I have extensive experience with VA, FHA, Conventional, USDA, and jumbo loans, as well as specialized programs like bridge, lot, new construction, and renovation loans. My commitment to exceptional service has earned me multiple Five Star Professional Awards based on feedback from past clients. Over the years, I’ve closed more than $800 million in loans, but my true focus is on building lasting relationships by being a trusted resource for sound advice.

Originally from the Chicago suburbs, I moved to St. Louis after graduating from Missouri State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business. Now, I live on 29 acres with my family, where I enjoy gardening, hiking, shooting, and spending time outdoors.

I believe every client deserves the same care and dedication as if they were my own family. My goal is to be a lifelong resource and guide, someone clients can count on for sound, consistent advice. It’s not just about getting the job done—it’s about building trust and a true partnership for years to come.
