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.

Growth enabler. Problem solver. Precedent setter.

Daniel has been a part of the First National Financial commercial team almost ten years, and has worked on a team that has originated more than $5 billion in commercial financing.

For Daniel, it is critical to put clients in the best position for growth. Doing so takes dedication, hard work and sometimes, tough problem solving behind the scenes.

In Daniel’s view, challenges create opportunities within deals, and those opportunities often become precedents in structure and financing. Committed to being a precedent setter, Daniel leverages programs like CMHC’s Energy Efficiency initiative to give his clients the best advantages possible. He is also one of First National’s foremost specialists in Affordable Housing, helping owners manage the complexities with smart financing solutions.

Working at First National, Daniel feels that he can use his CMHC knowledge, commitment to collaboration and persistence in relationship management to get deals done right.
