The elephant is my softer strength — approachable, grounded, and deliberate. He represents the wisdom and patience I’ve built after years of underwriting, as well as the weight of responsibility I carry when I write a prequalification or guide someone through their loan. His outfit — rolled-up sleeves, suspenders, and newsboy hat — speaks to my hands-on, old-school work ethic.

But there’s more to him: elephants live and thrive through their community. They look out for one another, teach the young, and never leave anyone behind — and that’s very much how I see my role too. Whether it’s borrowers, realtors, or colleagues, I believe in building trust, supporting others, and making sure no one feels they’re navigating this alone.
