Meet Russ

As a Senior Loan Officer at First State Bank of St. Charles, I’ve been part of the mortgage industry since 2001. My goal is to make the loan process as smooth and stress-free as possible by understanding each client’s unique needs and offering personalized financial solutions.

With lending capabilities in all 50 states and access to a variety of loan products, including Conventional, FHA, USDA, VA, Jumbo, and MHDC, I work to find the best options for every situation. Competitive rates and low closing costs have helped me build meaningful, long-term relationships with many of my clients.

I graduated from Truman State University with a Bachelor of Science in Finance, bringing a strong financial background to every transaction. My aim is to ensure clients feel confident and supported throughout the process.

I am very passionate about trying to provide a stress-free experience throughout the entire loan process. Not every client is the same so it is important to listen first and then be able to provide financial solutions designed to meet each client’s goals.
