A Bit About Me
As a disabled veteran and former business owner with 4 million accident-free miles as a truck driver, I bring dedication and experience to every client relationship. Based in Ruoff Mortgage’s Tallmadge office, I serve Stow, Hudson, Kent, Twinsburg, Streetsboro, Solon, and surrounding Northeast Ohio communities. I specialize in VA, DSCR investment, reverse mortgage, and HELOC financing, helping everyone from first-time homebuyers to retirees take their next step. Outside of work, I support local charities, write novels, and lend my voice to radio and television. Whether you're buying, investing, or downsizing, I'm always a phone call or email away!
