Licensed in MA, NH, and RI

Tom is a residential loan officer for Embrace Home Loans, Inc., a Newport, RI based national direct mortgage lender.

From his office on Harris Street in the heart of Newburyport, he is able to work with his clients here on the North Shore and Seacoast communities helping them with their residential mortgage and refinancing needs. Embrace allows him to offer clients multiple options to meet their financial needs, from community lending programs such as Mass Housing and New Hampshire housing, VA, FHA, USDA, to conventional and jumbo loans.

Tom and his wife Connie moved to Newburyport full time in 2015 from Cambridge, and immediately felt at home here. The culture, lifestyle, and great people of Newburyport and the surrounding communities caused them to easily fall in love with all that is offered. As vested members of the community they frequently support local businesses, participate in community events and volunteer their time. If you haven't already, you'll probably see them around town walking their three rescued hound dogs (2 Basset Hounds - Kobe and Jazzy, and a Walker Coon Hound named Flash). Stop them and say hi!

"You don't want to miss the boat!" Yes, I am talking to you....the Chamber's annual boat cruise is set to sail next Thursday, August 25th and you don't want to be left waiting at the pier!

This annual event is a great way to relax, unwind with fellow chamber members and friends aboard the beautiful Captain's Lady. Many companies make this an event for many of their employees!

One of the greatest aspects of our community is its togetherness. Yes, there may be times that we bicker about sidewalks being cracked and...ummm...parking, but at the end of the day: when a community member is in need, our community responds.

Time is a valuable commodity for most, but 'most' also want to help out their community. For those individuals who can't donate time to volunteer, this is a great way to help out.
