A Little About Me
I am a hard working family man who has been in the business since 2013. I enjoy the opportunity to be able to truly help people achieve the dream of home ownership.
I attended Campbell University where I received a Bachelor of Business Administration with a focus in Professional Golf Management. I moved to the Eastern Shore in 2010 and have never looked back. I met my wife Katie here and we were married a month after I got into the mortgage industry – she has a lot of faith in me – and in April of 2017 we welcomed our first daughter, Brooke, into the world.
We enjoy spending time at the beach, playing golf, woodworking, doing DIY home renovations (we have completely renovated 2 different homes together), going to the movies and spending time with each other and our two dogs – Rex and Romeo.
Interview Q&A
What specific steps do you use to help your customers find the best home loan for them?
I enjoy having detailed conversations with my customers and really digging into what the best financial product is for them. My main goal and a loan originator is to make sure I am setting my customers up for financial success.
What resources could you recommend that borrowers use to learn more about the mortgage process and how to ensure a successful home closing?
The most important resource, in my opinion, is a great loan officer (ahem). While the internet is great for providing information there is also a lot of misinformation out there. Sorting through all of that can be difficult and frustrating. I approach every customer with the heart of a teacher meaning that I want to take the time to educate you about EXACTLY what you are signing up for. with a thorough understanding of not only the loan process but the loan product customers find the experience a lot more satisfying.
What provides you with the most satisfaction in your job as a Loan Officer?
I love helping walk people through the home buying process. Whether it is someone buying their dream beach home, a first time home buyer, or someone looking to secure their financial future through the purchase of an investment property, i love being able to be a small part of that accomplishment.
Tell us something that makes you unique or something wacky, yet interesting about you?
I love playing golf, wood working, DIY home renovations and most importantly being a husband to Katie and a father to my daughter Brooke.

We could not have asked for a better lender to work with. He was so patient with us and answered all of our first-time homebuyer questions (which were not in short supply)! I’m not sure that we would have settled in a little over a month if it weren’t for Dan. Thanks again!! ~ Morgan Kitzmiller from Laurel, DE ~
