I build commercial lending relationships and manage complex loan portfolios.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At First Guaranty Bank, I develop, underwrite, close, and service commercial loans while managing a portfolio of more than 150 clients totaling $126 million.
I’ve brought in more than $12 million in deposits, closed over $25 million in conventional loans, and closed $15 million in SBA loans. I negotiate loan terms, assess financial status, and identify funding options for businesses in Tarrant County.
Before banking, I spent a decade at the North Central Texas Council of Governments supporting transportation programs, fiscal operations, budgets, grants, reporting, and internal systems. I also supervised personnel, guided project planning, and served as a point of contact for more than 600 AirCheck Texas partners.
I bring a practical, relationship-focused approach to financial analysis, program coordination, customer service, and process improvement.
