About
After growing up in a small town in rural Missouri, I feel right at home here in Wisconsin’s very own Hometown USA. I found my passion for mortgage lending while working for one of the largest national mortgage lenders in the country, Veterans United Home Loans. I was an intern at Veterans United during my senior year at the University of Missouri and was hired on full time after graduating from Mizzou with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. When my wife, Allison, accepted a position at Epic in the Spring of 2021, we relocated to the Verona area to plant our roots. It was here that I decided to switch gears and work with a small, local, independent, and family-run mortgage company.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Allison, and our friends and family. Our first son, Daniel Paul Burden, was born on September 1, 2024, and brings so much joy to our busy lives!
As self-described "foodies", we love exploring and trying new restaurants around the Madison area. Mocha, our Cavapoo, also adds a bunch of excitement to our lives, loves to go for walks, and enjoys cuddles on the couch for movie night.
I have been an avid golfer and basketball enthusiast since childhood, and I am excited to finally have a local NBA team to cheer for. Go Bucks! You’ll also find me splitting my time cheering for both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers during football season.
Being able to meet new people every day while also helping them achieve their lifelong goal of homeownership is one of the most rewarding feelings. I am grateful to be able to do what I love every day, while also sharing my experiences with those around me. I will never turn down the opportunity to build new relationships, so if you are interested in purchasing, refinancing, or just want to grab a coffee or some cheese curds, feel free to reach out and say hello!
