Let me help you get pre-approved today!

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!!! 💪🏆

    Tom was on top of everything with helping us get our home. He would respond extremely fast on emails. He made sure we understood everything going on during the home buying process. We could not be happier with his help.

    Tom was always so quick to answer any questions we had and was very knowledgeable with his answers. His online process updated us constantly as things were happening and it was easy to submit documents when he needed them. I would definitely go with Tom again on my next home process!
