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.

Knowledgeable. Collaborative. Passionate.
“I add value by helping clients identify value creation projects and determining the viability of potential financing transactions.”
David joined the First National team in January 2022 after four years in various roles in commercial real estate financing. He applies the knowledge he’s gained to determine the best financing solutions to meet clients’ growth objectives. With clients, developers and operators, David takes great pride in being an empowered advisor, emphasizing collaboration to achieve seamless due diligence. His deep passion for real estate comes alive most when he’s visiting sites and strategizing on how to transform spaces to create value and quality housing.
When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, David enjoys travel and tennis.
