About Us

I pride myself in knowledge, experience, and character. In my 8 years of mortgage industry service I have done and seen it all. In 2011 I started my career at Quicken Loans as a fledgling Loan Officer, grinding away to learn and perfect my craft to better serve my clients. Over my 4 year tenure at Quicken Loans I worked my way from total newbie to the highest rank of President’s Club Banker by providing great service to my clients. From there I moved on to the proverbial “bigger and better” by joining the Forthright Funding team as Vice President of the company. In this position I oversaw multiple facets of the business ranging from technology, process, marketing and advertising, and the oversight of $1 billion in mortgage volume per year. I had a great job, and worked with great people, but as we age and grow wiser our priorities change.

In 2018, myself and Thomas Tyma decided to partner up and go back to the basics. We both worked similar roles in management, and we both felt the same void. We missed working with clients! There are few things that feel better and touch the soul like changing someone’s life. Whether it is saving a client enough money to fix their budget and right the ship, or getting them into a new home that they will love and cherish for years to come, there is no feeling like it.

I want to help you, more than you will ever know. This is not about a paycheck, it is about you. Allow me the opportunity to earn your trust and I promise you will not be let down.

At Handshake Home Loans, myself and my team specialize in both purchases and refinances for residential mortgages. We make it our absolute mission to provide our clients with full transparency from start to finish to not only help obtain the lowest interest rate and the lowest cost, but to educate and help understand every step of the way.

Being a broker allows me to shop every lender to find the best deal possible as opposed to being constrained to one rate sheet and paying for a large lender’s overhead that gets passed on to the consumer. I pride myself on being extremely punctual and available to my clients 24/7 by phone, text, and email and make absolutely certain there are no questions that go unanswered. The knowledge and experience I bring will ensure you know you have a contact to call whenever a question arises about your mortgage.

Tyler is an Arizona Native, who loves helping break down the complexities of a what is a mortgage for every consumer he speaks with! His goal is to ensure a smooth process from start to finish without any unanswered questions! A mortgage is not complicated in his eyes, but knows he breaths eats, and sleeps all things mortgages, so he wants to make sure the consumer is well educated and always put into a much better position once they complete a refinance or purchase with Tyler. He entered the mortgage space back in 2013 for a direct lender where his team oversaw the turn-down deals for 4 major new home builders here in AZ. They were the number 1 team in the company, and this is where his fire and passion grew to help as many consumers purchase their dream home. From their Tyler went on to help open a very successful National Wholesale Mortgage Company where he ran a team of Mortgage Professionals as a sales manager, and then became VP of Sales for a larger competitor in Wholesale Lending. During his 4+ years in the wholesale space, he learned the ins and out of all of the national wholesale lenders, and completely solidified his thinking that a mortgage broker is 100% the best option for any consumer looking to purchase or refinance their home. A mortgage broker will not only shop all of the lenders for their consumers, but work hand in hand to build a relationship with each consumer they interact with. This was Tyler’s push to the broker side and decided to Join Handshake Home Loans. As a mortgage broker, he is very excited to provide his expertise to his consumers!

Growing up in the small town of Yuma AZ and having 4 older sisters, I did not always get first pick of anything worthwhile. I really had to make a name for myself as I was growing up. This has taught me that I have the strength to keep moving forward through all obstacles. I began my career in mortgages to be a prime example to my three beautiful daughters that if you put in the hard work, you can accomplish anything; even while being a single parent. I first began at Quicken Loans in August 2019, passed all my testing and became licensed in SAFE on my first try. I found that I was much better in the service aspect to my clients instead of sales so after almost a year of training with Quicken Loans, I joined Handshake Home Loans. I am challenged daily in my new career, however, the challenges I face each day are making me that much better as well, not only at work but in my life and my daughters lives as well. I only hope they can join a company as great as this one someday.
