Home › About Me
Mortgage Broker · USNA Graduate · Navy Veteran
Hi, I’m Craig. I’ve been on your side of the closing table.
I’m a proud U.S. Navy veteran and a graduate of the Naval Academy. I bring the same discipline, integrity and commitment to every client — and I explain every step in plain English.

Why I do this
“Whether it’s your first VA loan or your fifth, let me be the one who knows the terrain.”
As a veteran who has used my VA loan multiple times in multiple states, I know what it’s like trying to navigate guidelines, PCS orders, second-tier entitlement and underwriters who don’t get it. I use that first-hand experience and the VA Lender Handbook to defend your file, so homeownership feels earned — not stressful.
The same goes for every client: the teacher moving across the country, the resident starting a first attending job, the family told “no” by another lender. As a broker I can take your file to the lender that fits it, instead of fitting you into one bank’s menu.
Why home matters to me
I’m a husband and a dad first. I know what a home means.
When I walk through my own front door, that’s what all of this is for. So when you ask me about rates and down payments, I know what you’re really asking: can I give my family a place that’s ours?
My job is to get you to yes — and to treat your loan the way I’d want someone to treat mine. I’m not a bank. I’m the person who picks up when you call, the night before closing included.

A few of the military families Craig has helped home — on deployment, on PCS orders and on the way out of uniform.
