Jon currently leads processing operations at AmeriSave Mortgage Corporation, bringing extensive experience in loan origination, sales leadership, and commitment to transparent, client-focused mortgage lending. Based in Waikiki, HI with his wife and three young children (ages 1-6), Jon relocated from Texas to Hawaii when AmeriSave's Plano office closed, demonstrating his dedication to the company and industry.

Jon's mortgage career began after college when he worked at a restaurant frequented by loanDepot executives. Recognizing the opportunity, he pursued a career in lending and quickly advanced through roles at loanDepot, Caliber Home Loans, and ultimately AmeriSave. Starting as a Loan Originator at AmeriSave, Jon earned promotion to Manager after just 13 months and advanced to Vice President eight months later-a rapid ascent driven by results and leadership capability.

During his tenure, Jon established AmeriSave's Spanish lending channel and managed 330 direct reports, demonstrating his operational leadership and commitment to serving diverse communities. He successfully guided his teams through the post-pandemic market crash when rates rose from 2% to 8% in 18 months, maintaining focus on client relationships and ethical lending practices during industry turbulence. Before his current role in processing, he also served as Sales Manager at AmeriSave.

Jon enjoys active ocean life and activities including swimming and cliff diving, exploring Hawaii with scenic drives to the north shore, hiking, and discovering new restaurants. He lives in a 20th floor high-rise condo overlooking the ocean and enjoys walking to 100-150 restaurants and bars in his neighborhood, attending polo matches and local festivals. His "Why AmeriSave" centers on the people-some of the most genuine and hardworking in the industry who truly care about clients with commitment to doing what's right even if it means working weekends; the innovation-constantly adapting and evolving, willing to test and enhance systems for better efficiency and customer experience, nimble and responsive to market changes; and the products-wide range of programs including jumbo loans, DSCR loans, sub-580 programs, commitment to finding ways to help clients who don't qualify for basic programs, and higher likelihood of finding a match for every client's needs.

Jon specializes in leveraging technology to enhance customer experiences while maintaining the human touch that defines excellent mortgage service. His approach is "coach, not convert"-offering tools, insights, and honest guidance rather than high-pressure sales tactics. His content focuses on loan origination best practices, rate decisions, application clarity, and demystifying the mortgage process for borrowers. He writes as a trusted advisor who respects readers' concerns and provides straightforward, actionable guidance grounded in transparency and consumer empowerment. His writing uses conversational language, clear bullet points, and real loan scenarios, focuses on what readers care about, often addresses FAQs or myths as if chatting with a client over coffee, and primarily uses second-person ("you") with occasional first-person when sharing experience. His tone is friendly, straightforward, and reassuring-like a trusted advisor you actually want on your side, transparent about what matters and honest about what doesn't, patient, helpful, respectful of readers' concerns, warm, candid, and driven by integrity.
