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.

Meticulous. Conscientious. Adaptable.

“I add value by supporting team members, conducting thorough due diligence and seeking opportunities to learn and grow.”

Theo joined the First National team in 2025 after completing his Bachelor of Commerce in Finance at the University of Alberta. He is currently working to complete Level 2 of his CFA Charter. Theo understands the importance of accuracy in every stage of a deal. He is meticulous about documentation, calculations, financial data and reporting to drive quality and compliance. Diligent with a strong work ethic, Theo is prepared and organized, which allows him to excel in a deadline-driven environment. He recognizes how quickly things can change or shift and is quick to adjust his focus and priorities as required.

When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Theo treasures time with family and friends, gets out on the green for a golf game, hits the slopes, relaxes with a great book and crosses destinations off his travel list.
