About Nick

Proudly serving clients across Indiana.

Nick joined Cartmel Mortgage Group in July 2017 after spending over ten years in a few different industries related to non-profits, sales, finance, accounting, and real estate. Every industry he has worked in has had one crucial common denominator: great customer service!

Nick has gained extensive experience in Conventional, FHA, USDA, VA, and other specific loan programs that can be tailored to fit your specific loan needs. He can also help with the re-financing of your current loan.

Born and raised in Carmel, Indiana, Nick graduated from Indiana University in 2006 with a Bachelor’s degree in Communication. He also received his MBA from Louisiana State University in 2013 while spending time in Louisiana. There he met his wife, Lisa, and they relocated to the Central Indiana area. They enjoy spending time with their two dogs, IU basketball/LSU football, all things Louisiana culture, and travelling to different places (especially New Orleans). Nick has also been coaching basketball at Zionsville High School since 2018.

Everyone that worked on my mortgage genuinely cared. It's a small touch that a lot of businesses will forget at times, but not these guys.
