I’m a husband to an incredible woman, father of two fearless boys, and someone who feels most alive in the mountains. Whether we’re skiing Whiteface, mountain biking Adirondack trails, or hiking peaks with our wild dog, my family lives the North Country lifestyle fully — and we’re deeply rooted in this community.

Service has always been part of who I am. It began in the U.S. Navy aboard a fast-attack submarine, where discipline, accountability, and leadership weren’t optional — they were essential. That experience shaped how I approach every challenge: show up prepared, take responsibility, and work relentlessly toward the mission.

Professionally, I bring that same mindset to commercial lending and credit strategy. With 25 years in the financial industry and more than a decade in commercial banking leadership, I’ve worked across corporate banking, credit risk management, and loan origination — helping businesses, investors, and communities access the capital they need to grow.

Over the course of my career I have:

Managed and underwritten hundreds of millions in commercial credit exposure

Led credit teams responsible for $550M+ loan portfolios and broader enterprise portfolio oversight

Structured loans for business expansion, real estate development, and investment projects

Participated in credit committees, portfolio monitoring, and risk strategy development

Mentored lenders and analysts to strengthen credit culture and decision-making

Today, I work with business owners, real estate investors, and developers who need more than just financing — they need a strategic partner who understands how to structure deals, manage risk, and create long-term value.

My approach to lending is simple:
capital should be thoughtful, strategic, and aligned with long-term success.

I specialize in complex lending scenarios, commercial real estate, and growth financing, where creativity, experience, and disciplined credit analysis make the difference between a deal working — or falling apart.

At the end of the day, I believe wealth isn’t just measured in dollars.

Real wealth means being rich in relationships, rich in community, rich in family, and rich in purpose. My role is to help clients build financial strength that supports those things — while contributing to the communities we all call home.

If you’re building something meaningful — a business, a development project, or a long-term investment portfolio — I’d welcome the opportunity to help you structure the capital to make it happen.

Let’s build something meaningful together.
