I grew up in Washington, DC on Capitol Hill right between the Capitol building and RFK stadium. I attended Georgetown Day School from kindergarten through 12th grade. After graduating from high school, I spent one semester at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI before transferring to Northeastern University in Boston, MA where I received a bachelor's degree in business administration and graduated with Magna Cum Laude honors. After graduating from college, I worked on the sales team at Forrester Research, a technology research and consulting firm. In late 2001, I accepted a job with the Las Vegas branch of Conseco Finance and was introduced to the mortgage business. I joined Southern Fidelity Mortgage in 2002. 

In my spare time I enjoy travelling, poker, yoga, working out, listening to music, and watching football and baseball.
