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.

Creative. Persistent. Logical.

“I add value by combining financial analysis, market knowledge, efficient turnaround and ongoing communication to create financing proposals that meet clients’ needs.”

Oscar joined the First National team in September 2024, after interning with Team Chung in the summer of 2023. While at the Ivey School of Business earning his Honours in Business Administration, he interned at a technology start up, gaining experience in strategy and business development. He also ran his own business for two years selling high-end fashion on the secondary market. Oscar takes a creative approach to problem solving. He has developed a steadfast persistence from his start up and entrepreneurial experiences, always believing that if there’s a will, there’s a way. Oscar taps his financial acumen, formal training and logic to prioritize what’s important and put results first.

When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Oscar explores Toronto’s culinary scene, crosses destinations off his travel list, pulls out his paddle for pickleball, watches a variety of sports and runs to stay fit.
