"Home lending is our platform to positively transform lives and fulfill long-term goals through responsible homeownership."

Whether helping a client buy their first home, improve their home loan savings, or leverage their equity, Jay offers comprehensive planning and education. He applies the knowledge he's gained over the years to find creative financing options that fit his customers' unique needs.

I have been in residential lending since 2002. Throughout my career, I have funded more than $500 million in residential home loans.

I believe in taking a unique approach to every client and partner. I value the life-long relationships that I have built with each of my partners and clients.

I was born and raised in the Seattle area. I graduated from Western Washington University in 2000 with a degree in Economics and I received my MBA in Data Analytics from Seattle Pacific University in 2019. I currently live in Covington with my lovely wife Holly and our 4 amazing children.

In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family, working out, skiing, and wake surfing at our lake home on Lake Osoyoos.
