Meet Jim

Raised in Central Ohio, I graduated from Ohio State University with an Industrial and Systems Engineering degree. I began my career with Anheuser Busch in St. Louis, MO. My work relocation moved me to the Heartland of America, and I have lived in the Kansas City area for 36 years.

My early work experience was building systems for better process flow, which matches my team’s vision at First State Bank–to offer “wow” service.

My team and I have the vision and systems in place to give the utmost customer service and ensure our bank guests have the best experience when purchasing a home. To that end, we offer competitive rates and loan programs to meet almost everyone’s specific needs and continue to serve you after closing.

My goal and my team’s goal is to help each borrower transition from accepting their real estate contract to closing their home loan. We communicate throughout the process to all parties associated with the loan so that the process is a great experience and any stress is minimized.

My education and expertise are perfect for analyzing a borrower’s financial goal for their loan. My experience in the mortgage industry has allowed me to understand the vast loan options, loan guidelines, and exceptions available in the guidelines, allowing me to determine the best loan options available for my customers.

Formerly a licensed Kansas Real Estate Broker, I am a certified Continuing Education Instructor teaching financing and other continuing education programs to Realtors.

My wife Gail and I have four boys: Zach (and daughter-in-law Megan), Travis (and daughter-in-law Victoria), Brett (and daughter-in-law Angie, granddaughter Lili and grandson Henry), and Adam. We also have two four-legged daughters, Bella and Neely.

Obtaining a home loan is all about you, the homeowner! My passion is to help our clients find prosperity in home ownership. There is no greater reward than helping a home buyer achieve their home ownership dream and witnessing their joy in making it a home.
