I have Master's Degree in Computer Science from Leningrad Polytechnic institute.

It was 1992... the Cold War had just ended, IBM introduced its first laptop and a younger version of "me" had just started a career in the mortgage industry.    That was nearly 30 years ago, and I can still remember the sense of fulfillment that came with helping clients achieve their dream of owning their own home. For me, that thrill never faded.  I still love what I do and I take pride in patiently educating people on the best way to navigate the mortgage process, from pre-loan approval all the way to closing. The joy on a customer's face when the keys to their new home are placed in their hands is simply priceless.  As an avid sports fan - and a former pitcher for my college team at Pace University - I know that it takes a dedicated team to accomplish any goal. By allowing me to be on your home buying team, I will bring my three decades of expertise to ensure that you make all of the smart decisions at all of the right times. There are certainly many options to choose from in the mortgage industry, but you owe it to yourself and your family to partner with a professional who can deliver for you when it's all on the line.  My area of specialty is in Renovation and Construction Lending, though I still handle traditional refinance and purchase lending.  These are the unique mortgage programs that help you get the exact house of your dreams, within your budget and your time frame.  Rather than take ownership of a home designed by someone else, you get the satisfaction of moving into your customized home on day one.  A home is where a family takes shape and dreams are made.  Some of my most cherished memories involve my two beautiful daughters running through our house and playing with our dogs.  Now, one is training to be a pilot in the Marine Corp and the other is studying pre-med in college.  Time really does go by in the blink of an eye.  Although I grew up in Westwood, NJ, today I call Ramsey my home (a space that I share with a big, goofy rescue dog named Enzo). I look forward to getting to know you and your family...to hearing what your goals are for home ownership...and to helping you find the perfect place to begin your next chapter.  *Applicant subject to credit and underwriting approval.

In 1992, the world was changing. The Cold War had just ended, IBM introduced its first laptop, and a younger version of myself was starting a career in the mortgage industry. Nearly three decades later, I still vividly remember the sense of fulfillment that came from helping clients achieve their dream of homeownership. That passion has never faded. I truly love what I do and take pride in patiently guiding people through the mortgage process—from pre-loan approval to closing. There's nothing quite like seeing the joy on a client's face when they receive the keys to their new home.


As a former Division 1 college pitcher and an avid sports fan, I know the importance of teamwork. Achieving any goal takes dedication and collaboration, and I'm here to be a key player on your home-buying team. With three decades of experience, I'll ensure you make the smartest decisions at every stage of the process. While the mortgage industry offers many options, choosing the right partner—someone who will deliver when it matters most—is crucial for your family's future.


My expertise lies in Renovation and Construction Lending, though I also handle traditional purchase and refinance loans. These specialized programs can help you create the home of your dreams within your budget and timeline. Instead of settling for a house designed by someone else, you can move into a space customized just for you. A home isn't just a building; it's where families grow, and dreams take shape. Some of my most cherished memories are of my two daughters running through our house and playing. Today, one is a Marine Corps captain flying helicopters, and the other is in medical school. Time truly does fly.


I call northern New Jersey home and look forward to learning about your family, understanding your homeownership goals, and helping you find the perfect place to start your next chapter. Together, we can make your dream home a reality.

I was happy to call the Mortgage Industry my home after graduating from Iona College in 1992. I quickly realized that I had found my second home. Over the past 26 years I have been a part of the Mortgage Industry, 18 of those years selling with a brief time away to grow my family.  My career started in 1992 and little did I know at the time that I was learning from the best, I am still lucky enough to work with some of the same people today. Integrity and respect are a deep part of my moral compass. With the connection and best interests of my clients we work together to successfully complete the Mortgage process and strive for perfection! Over the years I feel lucky to say that I've helped hundreds of people purchase their homes or re-finance their existing home. I am ecstatic to say that I am back in the biz and can once again help clients achieve their Mortgage goals.
