I will work hard to help you achieve your homeownership goals.
I’ve been in the mortgage lending industry since graduating from college in 1983 – 35 years! My personal catch phrase has always been, “I want to be your Mortgage Lender For Life!” In order to actually be this, I must provide the service, the expertise and knowledge, and the caring attitude you expect. I take your business seriously. Your homeownership and being able to provide a nice home for your family is of the utmost importance.
Following graduation from Wabash College with a BA in Economics, I worked for 13 ½ years for a moderate-sized lender, working my way up to Vice President and Branch Manager. In 1997, I started my own company and served as President of the company until 2008. I then took a position for a local bank and remained there simply as a Senior Loan Officer for 10 years. I began my position with Ruoff Mortgage in August of 2018.
As a Senior Loan Officer, I bring the experience and knowledge you expect in your loan officer. I believe in putting the customer first in all things. I try to attend all mortgage closings to be with you in what may be the most important transaction of your life. Once we’ve closed your home loan, I want to remain your “Mortgage Lender For Life!”, just as you may have an accountant, an attorney, a family doctor – I want to always be there to help you with your home loan now, and forever.

Tom was wonderful to work with and I can't think of a way this whole process could have been made easier. Even closing day was simpler than typical! The title company told me how lucky I was to go with Ruoff because they have the smoothest system out there with the most digitally signable documentation which meant I only had to physically sign half of the normal papers and was in and out within 35 minutes. I can not recommend Tom or Ruoff highly enough.

Tom was super helpful during the entire process. I told him I wanted to close asap and he assured me he’d do everything in his power to accommodate my needs. Tom was very good at communicating between all parties involved. I told Tom that I’d be recommending him to anyone I know trying to get a loan. He’s a super great guy and so easy to work with. He made the entire process feel seamless and smooth. Thanks a ton Tom. Keep up the excellent work!!! 💪🏆
