With over 15 years in the mortgage industry and 17 years in banking, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals and families across Calhoun County achieve their dream of homeownership.
I believe the human connection is key—especially during a process as personal as buying a home. I take pride in offering honest guidance, clear communication, and the kind of support that makes a real difference. Whether you're homebuyer-ready or just starting to plan, I’ll help you map out a path to success.
I work with a wide range of loan types, including Conventional, FHA, RD, VA, construction loans, vacation and investment properties, and lot loans. I also partner closely with local realtors and stay actively involved with the Battle Creek Association of Realtors and area nonprofits. For me, it’s all about service—giving you a mortgage experience that’s smooth, empowering, and grounded in community values.
At Sturgis Bank, we don't just fund your progress—we stand behind it.
