I have grown up in Western North Carolina and graduated from Tuscola High School. I have a wonderful wife, Debbie and son, Walt. I have been originating mortgages for over 7 years and truly love this business. Someone once told me, "If you find a career you love you will never work a day the rest of your life."

"I enjoy being outdoors with my family fishing, waterskiing, camping and hunting.  I am involved with my son’s  Boy Scout troop and with my church. I want the clients that I deal with to also be a friend and know if they ever need anything I will be there.  In all of my loan closings I want my clients to be relaxed and happy."

Brandy is a dedicated Loan Officer to her customers. She has been a Loan Officer for almost 2 years, and prior to that, she processed for six months. Her philosophy is not to have only a customer, but to have a friend as well.
