I’ll be with you every step of the way

Hi, I’m Nicholas, a retired U.S. Air Force propulsion mechanic with six years of service. After earning my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in exercise science from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, I taught as an adjunct professor. Alongside my passion for recreational fitness, I completed the Oilman Texas Half-Ironman. I bring that same level of dedication to helping you on your home financing journey.

As a motivated and ambitious mortgage professional, I’m excited to work with you and my partners to build meaningful connections and guide you through the mortgage process. From pre-approval to closing, I’ll be by your side every step of the way.

Ready to take the first step toward homeownership? Call or email me today and start your journey with America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender!

Originally from Opelousas, Louisiana, I now call Lafayette home. I’m a proud father, and this journey has been one of the most joyful experiences of my life.
