Meet Our Team

SMPL Mortgage is a DBA of C2 Financial Corp. 

C2 Financial was founded on the idea that choice results in better opportunities. That’s why we’ve spent almost 30 years building the largest wholesale lender network in the nation. With C2 Financial, loan originators, and their clients, can feel confident they are getting the most competitive pricing and the best service in the market. Due to its size, the company receives preferred pricing and service from its wholesale lending partners resulting in superior pricing and experience for its clients. C2 Financial is ranked by as the largest mortgage broker in the country by Mortgage Executive Magazine and one of the ’50 Best Companies to Work For’.

Additionally SMPL Mortgage works with a team of virtual teammates to deliver an exceptional process while reducing expenses, passing that savings to our clients.

We believe that when people feel seen, educated, and supported, they make better decisions. And better decisions - about your home, your money, and your future - lead to freedom. That’s why every plan we create starts with conversation, not credit scores. And why we’re as committed to educating and empowering as we are to executing.

    My personal experience has taught me that with enough perseverance, kindness, and empathy anything in life is possible. My goal is to help our clients get into the homes of their dreams with as much information and education about their financial future as possible.

    My goal with every client is to ensure that they understand what is happening at each stage in the transaction and that we are efficient, communicate often and generally work to make the mortgage process as SMPL and stress free as possible.

    For nearly two decades I have helped clients finance their new home or renovate their existing home. I believe a home is the centerpiece of our clients’ long-term financial planning and wealth building. Recently that has included exploring options for adding an ADU (Additional Dwelling Unit). My clients have enefitted from the wide range of resources and the supportive attitude that the SMPL Mortgage team offers.
