Michael has been a mortgage industry professional for 14 years.

“I initially moved into the business because I wanted a career that allowed me time off on the weekends to spend with my children. What I found was a career that offered me the opportunity for growth, flexibility, as well as the ability to positively impact people's lives. I am now fortunate enough to be in a position to directly help borrowers. Families’ and individuals’ needs and objectives constantly change over time, and I am proud to be able to offer a range of products that addresses those ever-changing priorities.

“I made the move to Amalgamated Bank after substantial research of lending institutions and introspection of my own standards and goals. I found Amalgamated to be at the ‘sweet spot’ of a wide-ranging portfolio of mortgage products and a deep commitment to social responsibility.

“And, most importantly, I still get to spend time with my family.

“When I am not assisting my clients with their financial needs, I enjoy spending time with my family, which includes three foster mutts, two college age children and one wife. A hobby of mine is working on my ‘81 VW camper van, a vehicle with which I nurture an ongoing love-hate relationship.”
