About me
I’m a Mortgage Loan Originator with GoRascal, based in Bellmore on Long Island. In my four years in the mortgage industry, I’ve worked on purchases and refinances across conventional, FHA, VA, and jumbo loans, and I’ve guided many first-time buyers from their first question to the closing table.
A big part of my work is with first responders, including police officers, firefighters, and EMS professionals, and with veterans and service members using their VA loan benefits. My goal is simple: explain your options in plain language and keep you informed at every step. I’m licensed in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Delaware, with Florida pending.
