I lead Healthcare Banking at Columbia Bank, where we focus on providing capital solutions to organizations across the healthcare ecosystem while also supporting community infrastructure through our Homeowners Association (HOA) lending platform.Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked across credit, risk, and originations in commercial banking, which provides a comprehensive perspective on how capital supports growth, operations, and long-term investment.Our healthcare banking team partners with operators, investors, and advisors to structure financing solutions that support expansion, acquisitions, recapitalizations, and strategic growth.We work with organizations across the healthcare continuum, including:• Health systems • Physician groups• Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs)• Healthcare services and manufacturing companies• Healthcare real estate sponsors and investorsIn addition to healthcare banking, I work closely with our specialized HOA lending platform, which provides financing solutions to community associations for capital improvement projects, infrastructure upgrades, and long-term reserve funding. These projects often include roof replacements, exterior rehabilitation, mechanical upgrades, and other major property improvements that support the long-term health of residential communities.In my role as Senior Vice President and Market Director, I oversee healthcare banking markets across California, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Texas, while continuing to build and expand a specialized team focused on healthcare and other targeted commercial banking verticals.Healthcare and community infrastructure are both sectors that require thoughtful capital solutions and long-term banking relationships.I always enjoy connecting with healthcare operators, advisors, community association professionals, and fellow bankers to share perspectives on the market and explore opportunities to work together.
