About
I’ve helped people across the country buy homes with confidence—and I’d love to do the same for you!
I grew up in the small town of Macon, Missouri, where I learned the value of community, hard work, and doing right by people. Those values have carried through every step of my career in mortgage lending. I found my passion for helping others buy homes during college at the University of Missouri, where I interned with Veterans United Home Loans—one of the largest mortgage lenders in the country. After earning my degree in Business Administration from Mizzou in 2019, I joined Veterans United full-time and got hands-on experience guiding clients through every stage of the loan process.
In 2021, my wife, Allison, accepted a position in the healthcare software industry with Epic, which took us to Madison, Wisconsin. During our time there, I had the chance to work with a small, independent mortgage broker that focused on personal service—something that aligned perfectly with how I believe this business should be done. We’ve since returned to the St. Louis area and now live in Chesterfield. I'm proud to help clients both locally and nationwide navigate the home financing process. I’m currently licensed in Missouri, Illinois, and Wisconsin, and Delmar Mortgage is licensed in 42 states total.
Outside of work, life is full and fun. Allison and I welcomed our first son, Daniel Paul Burden, on September 1, 2024, and he’s brought so much joy to our lives. We also have Mocha, our energetic Cavapoo, who keeps us active and makes movie nights even cozier. We love trying new restaurants, catching a round of golf, and watching basketball and football—Go Chiefs, Go Bucks, and yes, Go Packers (unless they’re playing KC)! Helping people achieve homeownership is more than a job to me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. If you’re ready to get started or just want to talk through your options, I’m always happy to connect.
