About Zachary

After 20 years in the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, I have learned the importance of teamwork, attention to detail, and operational efficiency. I offer a wide range of loan programs for every borrower, but VA loans are my natural passion. I understand military life firsthand, and it is an honor to assist my fellow Veterans with a VA home loan.

I work with an exceptionally experienced loan team. Our focus is always on you, our client. I will make sure you understand your mortgage, are kept informed as it moves through the required steps and approvals, and can always get answers to your questions. My goal is for you to feel comfortable with your loan and experience the joy and satisfaction of homeownership.

After growing up on the east side of Columbus, I graduated from Otterbein University with a bachelor's degree in accounting. I later obtained a Master of Business Administration from Ohio Dominican University. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my family and participating in Scouts BSA.

Whether you are buying, refinancing, or renovating, I am ready to give you the outstanding home loan experience you deserve.

I’m here to help you get the most from your home financing — whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or downsizing to match your lifestyle, or refinancing your current mortgage.
