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. Communicative. Curious.

“I add value by applying my diverse knowledge to the analysis required for successful commercial origination.”

Zen joined the First National team in July 2021. His previous experience includes analyst roles in commercial real estate and energy trading. With a keen understanding of complex debt structures, Zen can delve deep into transactions and simplify even the most niche concepts, so they can be consumed and understood. He has a real passion for the technical aspects of commercial real estate, and his curiosity drives him to dig in and understand the finest details of every deal.

When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Zen works on his golf game, explores the latest restaurants and relaxes with a good movie.
