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.

Strategist. Big thinker. Trusted advisor.

Robert has been a part of the First National Financial commercial team for the past nine years, and has originated more than $3 billion in commercial financing.

For Robert, working with clients and working in the industry is about evolving their business and delivering the right solutions.

Robert’s philosophy is both simple and systematic. Think beyond the expected and ordinary. Define value and then add it. Connect with people, their plans and their passions. Use client expectations as the pivotal guide for his actions.

Working at First National, Robert feels confident that he can deliver on what he promises. Ideas and ingenuity are encouraged, but deals become reality with strategic minds working together and through the right amount of process.
