Taking Flight
for the Community:
Soaring Heights & a Cessna 172

Being a mortgage broker and a pilot means finding creative ways to connect with the community. This is one of my favorites — a school mascot, a Cessna, and a lesson about what homeownership really means.

As a proud sponsor of the Soaring Heights PTO and a mortgage professional, I'm always looking for creative ways to support our community and connect with families. Recently, I had an absolute blast teaming up with Eddie the Eagle — the beloved mascot of my daughter's school — for a truly unique adventure that took us both to new heights, literally.

Eddie needed a new "nest" (a.k.a. the school building). As his Mortgage Copilot, I stepped in to assist with the financing — and then we climbed aboard a Cessna 172 and took to the skies. Watch the full adventure below.

From the Cockpit to the Classroom

It was an unforgettable way to combine my passion for flying with my commitment to supporting Soaring Heights and its amazing community. This experience reminded me why giving back is so important. Supporting local schools like Soaring Heights isn't just about sponsorships — it's about creating connections, fostering creativity, and building a strong foundation for our kids' futures.

Whether it's helping a school mascot find his nest or helping a family navigate the path to homeownership, the goal is always the same: make something complicated feel manageable. Getting pre-approved is the first step for most buyers, and it's simpler than most people expect.

Erie, Colorado — Home Base

I live in Erie. My kids go to school here. When I help a family buy a home in this community, I'm not just closing a file — I'm adding a neighbor. That context changes how I approach every transaction. It's why I'm reachable, why I respond same-day, and why the relationships I build here matter more to me than any production number.

Here's to soaring higher together — on the ground and in the skies! 🦅✈️

If you're thinking about buying in Erie, Longmont, Boulder, or anywhere along the Front Range — or anywhere in the 11 states I'm licensed in — I'm always happy to help.
