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.

Attentive. Resourceful. Responsive.

“I add value by conducting thorough due diligence and communicating back to clients quickly and accurately.”

Roman joined the First National team in February 2024, bringing his experience in CMHC-insured underwriting (including MLI Select) to his role as Analyst. When assessing clients’ properties and loans, Roman puts himself in his clients’ shoes, understanding their needs and long-term goals. His strength and passion are in assessment. He enjoys digging into deals and applying his finance background to devise creative financing solutions. A strong communicator, Roman recognizes the importance of quick response and building deep, trust-based relationships.

When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Roman is an avid cyclist, enjoys time up north on the lakes and pursues his new-found passion for horseback riding.
