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.

Dependable. Resourceful. Attentive.
“I add value by focusing on clients’ needs first, creating strategies collaboratively and implementing them seamlessly.”
Ariel joined the First National team in April 2023 after spending six years in underwriting roles with a focus on CMCH-insured mortgages. For Ariel, being honest and trustworthy is critical to building strong relationships. He also emphasizes active listening, focusing on understanding what’s being communicated rather than absorbing it simply to respond. Through listening, Ariel gains a deep sense of what his clients care about and what they consider issues or obstacles. He then uses that insight to craft the right solutions to meet their needs.
When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Ariel gets outside on his bike, snowboard or the hiking trails and samples what’s new on the restaurant scene.
