I believe you can tell a lot about someone by the way they sit on their porch.

Growing up in South Georgia, the porch was where life happened. We laughed there, cried there, waved to neighbors passing by, and caught our breath on quiet evenings after long days. It wasn’t just a space between the front door and the street—it was a front-row seat to the rhythm of community, connection, and everyday life.

That’s where my story starts.

A Front-Row Seat to Home

I didn’t grow up dreaming of mortgages. What I did dream of was helping people feel at home. I saw the way a stable, loving home could shape someone’s life. I also saw what happened when that security was missing.

Over the years, as friends and family started buying homes—or trying to—I noticed how often they felt overwhelmed, confused, or downright intimidated by the process. I saw how impersonal the lending world could feel. And I knew I could do it differently.

I didn’t want to be just another lender. I wanted to be the kind of person you’d trust enough to invite onto your porch. The kind who explains the fine print like a neighbor, not a banker. Someone who remembers your kids’ names and your favorite front door color.

Why I Chose This Path

I chose mortgage lending because it gives me a chance to walk alongside people during one of the biggest moments of their lives. Buying a home is personal. It’s emotional. It’s a dream coming to life.

And it’s a dream that should be treated with care—not rushed through or brushed off with generic answers.

Whether I’m helping a first-time buyer navigate pre-approval or supporting a growing family as they upgrade to a forever home, I show up fully. Because this work is more than numbers—it’s about people, and the places they’ll build memories.

More Than a Job

Some days, I still sit on my own porch with a coffee or glass of sweet tea and think about how lucky I am. I get to live in a town I love, serve a community I care about, and do work that actually makes a difference in people’s lives.

It’s not always easy. But it’s always worth it.

And if I ever need a reminder of why I do what I do, I just think about that moment when someone gets their keys for the first time. When they walk into their new home and know it’s theirs.

That’s what keeps me going.

Final Thought

Everyone deserves a place to call home—and someone who cares enough to help them get there the right way. If you’re dreaming of that moment, or just starting to explore what home could look like for you, I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
