About J.R.

I’m the producing branch manager at CrossCountry Mortgage’s Helena, Montana branch. I started in the mortgage industry in 1990 and have seen the many ups and downs of the real estate market. I love to help families achieve the American dream of homeownership. Being a mortgage advisor is extremely important to me – especially when dealing with one of the most important assets a family owns. Finding the right home loan is never a one-size-fits-all situation, but I love finding solutions to help clients achieve their goals.

My passion is helping first-time homebuyers achieve homeownership regardless of their situation. Every situation is unique, which is why there are so many options available. We’ll discuss your goals and priorities before exploring a range of products, including conventional, VA, FHA, USDA, and down payment assistance programs. Not all programs are right for every borrower, so we'll work together to identify which loan fits your situation and goals to get you into the home of your dreams!
