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.

Meticulous. Diligent. Organized.

“I add value by focusing on efficiency, listening intently, working hard and organizing with precision.”

Steven joined the First National Team in 2021, starting in Residential Underwriting and then transitioning to a Commercial Funding role. In August 2024, he became a Senior Analyst and then joined Peter Cook’s team in January 2025. Meticulous by nature, Steven processes after completing tasks to identify where he can be more efficient the next time. He listens intently and invests a lot of care into any project that carries his name. Coming from a family that values hard work, Steven has always been diligent and strives for excellence. He embraces hard work and invests whatever time and energy it takes to deliver quality results. His exceptional organizational skills allow him to create the most effective systems and environment to get every job done to his exacting standards.

When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Steven tees off several times a week with his dad, hits the hardwood with his league basketball teams and relaxes with a great book or binge-worthy show.
