Loan Officer
Welcome! I appreciate the opportunity to visit with you about this important financial transaction. When my team and I meet most of our customers for the first time, many of them think that we are simply in the business of providing mortgages. We see things a little differently.
We consider ourselves to be in the business of adding value to the lives of our customers. My goal is to demonstrate this to you by providing a high level of attention and service throughout the loan process.
I am a Native Oklahoman and Citizen of the Muskogee-Creek Nation. I was born with a fraternal twin named Starr Hardridge, who is a renowned Native American Artist. I am also proud to have served a successful tour in the United States Marine Corps. When I am not following my passion of creating excellence in my profession, I am spending time with my wife, Vannessa, and three children, Caden, Bella and Caley.
