Let me help you get pre-approved today!

As a Junior Loan Officer at Ruoff Mortgage, I’m proud to be part of the Nadler lending team at the Worthington Branch in Columbus, Ohio. What I love most about working at Ruoff Mortgage is helping members of my community achieve homeownership.

One of the aspects I enjoy most about my career is the opportunity to make a positive impact on people's lives. I’m committed to continuous education and regularly engage in training to stay updated on market trends, loan products, and regulatory changes. This dedication reflects my personal philosophy of honesty, growth, and respect. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and value the importance of listening to diverse perspectives.

I specialize in various mortgage products, including FHA, VA, and Conventional loans, and I always advise clients to understand their financial situation before starting the homebuying or refinancing process.

I was raised in Westerville, Ohio, as the oldest of five boys, and my family is incredibly important to me. We stay close and try to get together frequently. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and playing music—I even received recognition for my saxophone skills during high school. In the future I plan on traveling all over the U.S. and am eager to get involved in community and professional organizations.
