I love coaching my team. I love being used to bring out the best in others.
I have a motto..."you work to live, not live to work." This is important to me. I have 5 kids (I know...I'm sick), so a commitment to my wife and kids is imperative. That only means that I have to be better at serving my clientele and have better efficiencies in order to do so.
Passions in life are really clear.
1) Want to be the best that I can be. Need to use the DNA that God gave me to the fullest. "Go hard or go home baby."
2) Vacationing with family - You only got one time to go around. Can't get that time back. "Work hard, play hard."
3) Disc Golf - Used to be a professional disc golfer. That was pre-kids. Important to me that I still get that opportunity to go out and hit the links. Check out www.pdga.com
4) Mountain and Rock Climbing - God made the Rocky Mountains for me. I love going up there and climbing all the 14-ers. Invitation to solitude with God and nature....too cool. Can't drive to most places. If you're going to connect, you need to put forth the effort in order to go to places that no one else will make the effort to achieve.
5) Re-Opening Camp Saint Malo - www.saintmalo.org/history.htm. I worked here during my 4 summers of college. Too cool to explain. Got it re-opened for 3 days last summer. Two weeks this summer. Want fun, the mountains, God and outrageousness all combined into one....Here's where it's at. Take a look.
6) Vince Lombardi mentality - God first, Family Second, Green Bay Packers, er...Cherry Creek Mortgage third....
As an attorney and lender, with over 13 years of experience, I can do most any loan. From first time home buyers to high end professionals seeking to build a multimillion dollar home or purchasing investment properties, I should be able to serve most. My favorite part of the job is helping people getting a grasp on their finances and steering their life and savings into a direction for their future success. Houses can be used to save money on taxes, as a college tuition savings tool, or as a long term retirement tool. There are loans to help you buy a home with no money down and even non-recourse loans that can be purchased through your I.R.A.s It's just important that you have something that you're working for. If you have a financial goal, then your home can be a part of it.
I can egotiscally say how great I am, but that's just a lot of BS. It really needs to be stated from someone else. The truth of the matter is that I enjoy helping people achieve their dreams. Quite frankly, I get paid only if I help people achieve their goal of home ownership or home ownership to create wealth.
I do public speaking nationally and am an author. Mainly motivational! I speak to mortgage companies, people in real estate and generally to those who want to use the DNA God gave them. It's not important to be a national speaker. Rather, it's important to positively influence the lives of those people you come into contact with during the time that you can interface with them. Everybody is given certain gifts and abilities that other people don't possess. Most people make the mistake of comparing themselves to others instead of investing into their own strengths. If I can help businesses or individuals tap into their strengths, then I've done something that I can feel proud of. That's all part of coaching and being a coach
Most of the time, I pour myself into my clients, my office and my region. While I enjoy working with my clients, I'm mostly pleased with developing a personal relationship with them....not in some sort of stalking way, but in a trusting kinda way. I won't harass you, but I'm there for you.
