Principal

Education & Training

As a former executive at Bank of the West/BNP Paribas, I have over 25 years of experience in the Finance
and Banking industry. My career has been centered in Commercial Real Estate (CRE) up until May 2023. I
chose to leave Bank of the West after it was acquired by Bank of Montreal. During my tenure at the bank, I had
the pleasure of leading the Great Plains/Rocky Mountain CRE office. The client base consisted of large CRE
owner, operator, developers of all types (public, private, REIT, funds, etc.) that were headquartered in the Rocky
Mountain, Central and East Coast regions. The portfolio included all CRE asset types located throughout the
Country. My responsibilities also included management of the Senior Housing and Hospitality specialties. Prior
to joining Bank of the West, I spent over a decade at Wells Fargo Bank in commercial and residential real estate
roles. I am a dedicated and hard working husband, father and businessman. I am a seasoned finance/banking/
real estate professional with a background, upbringing and diverse skill set spanning nearly three decades. Team
member development, support and advocacy have proven to be core competencies, as I prefer to put others first,
both in my personal life and workplace.

Presently, I am targeting a strategic/executive leadership role with a privately held company or family office
located in the Rocky Mountain Region. Of particular interest are organizations who exhibit or are open to Christian
values and behaviors in conjunction with development of individuals, teams, partnerships, relationships, priorities
and strategies, with an emphasis on righteousness, wisdom and stewardship.

Refer to BNP Paribas experience. Bank of Montreal acquired Bank of the West from BNP Paribas in February 2023.
