Meet Shad

With over two decades of experience in the mortgage industry, I am dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service and developing lasting relationships with clients and referral partners. The trust we’ve built is evident in the many clients who return or refer others. By offering competitive interest rates and closing fees across a variety of programs, I ensure clients find the financing that best suits their needs.

I am fortunate to work with an in-house team, including my assistant, processor, underwriter, and closer, which allows for a smooth and efficient process. We prioritize quick approvals and open communication, and I make myself available—even on evenings and weekends—to ensure everyone feels supported throughout the process. Licensed to lend in all 50 states, we are ready to assist homebuyers wherever the need arises.

I attended Truman State University before transferring to the University of Missouri, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and being out on the water.

My mission is to carefully guide you through the mortgage process taking into consideration all options available.
