About Me

I am a retired university professor who enjoys helping people. In addition to teaching at the university level, my background includes working as a parole officer, Director of a three-county community corrections program, and several years as a real estate agent and broker. In all of my career experiences, I have developed a good work ethic and enjoy solving problems and assisting people in meeting their challenges as well. Now, with more time available, I enjoy growing my business and staying active.

My educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, a Master's degree in Administration of Justice, and a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice. The knowledge and skills I learned in the legal fields has prepared me well for dealing with detailed forms, legal concepts, and has shown me the great importance of accuracy and good communication. My previous real estate experience provided a great foundation for understanding the needs of all the stakeholders in the mortgage and lending industries. Being a team player is very important to me and working toward common goals, serving ourmutual clients and customers is paramount in my framework.

I am a commissioned Notary Public in Missouri and am Certified as a Loan Signing Agent. My goal is to provide General Notary Work for the community, assist escrow agents, lenders, and title companies in loan signings, and also provide selective field inspections as requested by the mortgage and lending partners that have needs in this area.

My lovely wife and I met when we were 14, married when I was 20, and she was 19. We now have 4 sons, 5 grandchildren, and 1 great granddaughter. We enjoy visiting family, checking out historical sites in the area, being outdoors, and working together on our various interests. My wife has published three fictional novels and is working on her fourth. I help her with editing and she helps me with her creative genius. We stay busy with our individual interests as well as shared interests like battling at Scrabble and watching court drama movies.
