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.

Collaborative. Meticulous. Responsive.

“I add value by digging into the details of a deal and applying perspectives gained from past experience.”

Patrick joined the First National team in June 2022, after gaining experience in performance analysis, client servicing and marketing at a boutique investment firm. For Patrick, the truth lies in the details. He mines the details of every deal thoroughly so he can make the best and most informed recommendations. A strong communicator and collaborator, Patrick thrives when working in teams and sharing ideas with colleagues. He believes that true success comes when you put clients first and commit to the highest standards of service and delivery.

When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Patrick is an avid sports enthusiast, with interests that run the gamut from soccer and basketball to golf and tennis. He collects watches and enjoys sampling new foods at the latest restaurants.
