About Jackson
I transitioned to the world of mortgage banking in June 2020 after graduating from West Point and serving 6.5 years as an Infantry Officer in the United States Army. There are two main skills I learned in the Army which I apply to everything I do: taking ownership of a task until it's complete and teaching people how to win. My wife and I are passionate about living a balanced, holistic life and helping others do the same. For us, that means focusing on the priorities of Faith, Family, Fitness, and Finances. I believe financial planning is an important aspect of a holistic life, and I enjoy using my knowledge of different loan products to speak into the financial decision-making of my clients. It does not matter if a person is a first time homebuyer working towards a starter home or purchasing their eighth investment property. Helping others accomplish their goals is what I value.
