About Me
I serve as Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer at Acrisure Mortgage, where I lead technology and cybersecurity for a Top 10 national mortgage lender.
My focus is building systems that scale, automating what shouldn't be manual, and applying AI in ways that actually improve how the business operates.
I've spent over two decades in technology, with the majority of that time in mortgage and financial services — working across infrastructure, security, data, and enterprise platforms.
Work
Over the past several years, my work has centered around building production systems that connect data, automation, business intelligence, and AI into the mortgage lifecycle:
A vector-based system that compares new loan applications to historical loans to better understand risk and likelihood of closing.
An internal assistant that provides real-time loan status, answers operational questions, and proactively notifies users of key events.
A near real-time pipeline that updates loan status continuously, enabling alerts, automation, and downstream systems.
A system that estimates closing costs using location-based matching against previously funded loans.
An AI-driven workflow that identifies additional product opportunities after borrower intent to proceed.
Designed and implemented a modern data architecture integrating LOS data with cloud-based pipelines to support real-time analytics, reporting, and downstream AI systems.
Built event-based systems that trigger workflows and notifications across the loan lifecycle, enabling proactive alerts and reducing manual intervention.
Implemented AI-driven document processing using OCR and LLMs to classify, extract, and validate loan documents within the mortgage workflow.
Led the migration from on-premise infrastructure to AWS, establishing a scalable, cloud-first foundation for data, applications, and AI workloads.
Built and operationalized security programs covering identity, device management, audit readiness, and data protection aligned with regulatory standards.
Integrated LLMs, embeddings, and automation into core workflows to support decisioning, document analysis, and revenue-generating insights.
Designed and implemented an enterprise business intelligence platform integrating data across loan origination, financials, servicing, and operations. Enabled real-time reporting, executive dashboards, and data-driven decision-making across the organization.
Direction
Right now, my focus is on applying AI in ways that move beyond experimentation and into real operational impact:
