Originally from Hamburg, New York, Lisa now calls the Tampa Bay area her home base — though she and her husband frequently travel the country in their RV to meet with clients, real estate partners, friends, and family. She is the proud mom of three adult sons and a bonus daughter. Outside of lending, Lisa enjoys pickleball, comedy, scuba diving, Renaissance festivals, bluegrass music, volunteering, and connecting with people wherever she goes.
Her perfect day unfolds with morning prayer and coffee shared with her husband, competitive pickleball, exploring her current surroundings, and unwinding around a campfire among close friends.
