I’m a long time community member looking to help the community achieve their financial goals through partnership and trust.

Holden & Company Insurance

Our family-owned independent agency was founded in 1917 in Alexandria, Virginia, by Charles F. Holden. He launched Holden Insurance, Inc. with the goal of building a locally-owned business that served his community. While our foundations are rooted in Old Town, Alexandria, Holden & Co. has expanded throughout the United States and services clients from the East to the West Coast. Today, Holden & Co. focuses primarily on property and casualty insurance for both personal and commercial clients.

Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group LLC

In 2002, I transitioned from corporate IT sales to mortgages, and in the more than 20 years that’ve followed, I can honestly say I made the right decision for my situation. Currently, I’m licensed to serve VA, DC, MD, DE, NC, GA, FL, PA, and WV, but I’m primarily concentrated in the DMV. As a native of Alexandria, VA, I know the area extremely well. Over the course of working with thousands of families throughout my career, I’ve developed a special knack for assisting Jumbo, VA, and first-time homebuyer loans. And thanks to the 10-year-strong relationship my team has cultivated, I’m certain that we’re in the best position to advise you through the home loan process and handle a transaction of this magnitude. We know what we’re doing, and we’re going to win together!Much ofmy business comes from previous clients and word of mouth. I’m currently an active member of both the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA)and National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB), and I’m also a Certified Mortgage Advisor. I like to stay involved in my community with organizations such as: the Seaport Foundation, ACT for Alexandria, ALIVE Food Bank, and the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce.
