What I'm looking for

I seek senior appraisal or valuation roles where I can lead national review programs, ensure compliance, mentor teams, and resolve complex valuation issues in a collaborative, quality-focused environment.

I am a results-driven real estate appraisal professional with over thirty years of experience in appraisal, review, reconciliation, and management of national-scale programs.

I have served in leadership roles at the FDIC, Veritex Community Bank, Bank of America and through my own appraisal firm, delivering technical appraisal reviews, reconciliations, and policy documentation compliant with USPAP and FIRREA.

My accomplishments include authoring statements of work and appraisal guidance, conducting nationwide appraisal reviews (including Puerto Rico), managing vendor oversight, and producing high-volume forensic retrospective reviews used for repurchase actions during the subprime crisis.

I am a Texas Certified General Real Estate Appraiser and Appraisal Institute SRA designee with a strong record of awards for outstanding service, quality, and leadership, and a history of building effective teams and resolving complex appraisal quality issues.
