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.

Analytical problem solving. Team collaboration. Diverse skillset.

Devin is a recent addition to the First National Financial Commercial team, bringing four years of industry expertise to his role.

For Devin, inventiveness and rationality go hand in hand. He takes a creative approach to solving problems, but focuses on quick and efficient delivery, effective communication and transparency in process.

Devin has a unique background, which gives him a fresh perspective on commercial lending and real estate. He was both a professional poker player and commercial analyst for a national financial institution. That’s certainly where the creativity and adaptability come from.  But working with investors has given him a keen knowledge of how to structure deals based on the risk metrics that clients prioritize in their evaluations.

Working at First National, Devin sees his philosophy about teamwork in action every day. For him, a team is a coming together of individual strengths to drive success. He also appreciates the emphasis on balance – delivering what you promise and always managing expectations through effective and honest communication.
