Our team

Better people make better lending

We lend billions of dollars to commercial real estate projects every year. But it’s not just capital that distinguishes us. It’s the empowered nature of our workforce. Our advisors are experienced experts whose sole focus is to deliver financing strategies that enable you to achieve greater success.

Our Better Lending culture – three decades in the making – is built on the skill that comes from pure mortgage lending. Because we start from a position of knowledge about you, your project, and your market, we can design solutions that are fit for your purpose. And because accountability is in our nature, we meet our commitments.

Better by design, better by nature, better for you in every corner of the country.

Critical thinker. Personable. Trustworthy.

“I add value by analyzing data to identify deal structures and applying innovative thinking and ingenuity to solution development.”

David brings ten years of industry expertise to his role as Director at First National. He was previously a Business Development Manager. David combines analysis and a relationship focus to help clients achieve their objectives. A natural critical thinker, David is comfortable digging into data to find the right structures for every client. But he doesn't just rely on data. He builds rapport and understanding with clients to identify their needs and goals, so he can always deliver and follow through as promised.

When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, David enjoys sports including hockey, golf and squash.
