About Me
Paul’s introduction to the reverse mortgage industry was very personal. In 2010, his mother, a retired nurse, was struggling to maintain her standard of living. Her social security income and modest pension were not keeping pace with rapidly increasing property taxes and the normal costs of living. Moving her out of the much-loved family home and into an apartment was simply unimaginable.
After helping her to navigate the loan process, the positive changes to her life were dramatic and immediate. Her reverse mortgage made it possible for her to remain in her home while also having discretionary income to live the retirement she deserves. Paul will admit that the only bad thing about his mom’s reverse mortgage is that he can’t keep track of her whereabouts. She’s now a lively 90-year-old, living independently and fully embracing her friends and family in her golden years.
Prior to this experience, Paul had spent 30 years in commercial/multi-family property management. Although he loved the challenge of this demanding work, he ‘retired’ in 2016 in order to focus the last chapter of his career on helping others. Paul has subsequently assisted hundreds of families in achieving their retirement goals through the strategic use of their equity and deeply appreciates the lasting friendships that have been formed along the way.
Paul is passionate about serving his community and volunteers with North East Seattle Together (NEST), a support organization that offers day-to-day assistance to seniors wishing to age comfortably at home. He’s also offers his time and resources to local Senior Centers and the Fraternal Order of Eagles Service Organization. As a proud member of the National Association of Minority Mortgage Bankers of America (NAMMBA), he is committed to promoting diversity within the mortgage industry.
Good luck trying to find Paul on weekends as he’s usually off sailing in the San Juan Islands, hiking in the Cascade Mountains, or fishing wherever fish can be found. He is also an avid gardener, nurturing over 200 dahlias in his home garden to keep his wife inundated with flowers. Paul credits this smart hobby as helping them stay married since 1988. During the Northwest’s soggier months, he can often found penning his first screenplay — or singing with his band at various local venues.
