EXPERIENCE

More Than 25 Years in Equipment Finance

Experience in equipment finance is useful because the purchase is rarely defined by price alone.

When I review an inquiry, I want to understand the equipment being purchased, whether it is new or used, who is selling it, the purchase amount, how the equipment will be used, and when the buyer hopes to complete the transaction.

Depending on the purchase, ownership information, title details, business documentation, equipment condition, and transaction structure may also become relevant.

Having worked in equipment finance for more than 25 years helps me recognize which details should be clarified early and what information may be needed before the transaction can move forward.

MY ROLE AT CFF

National Sales Manager at Commercial Fleet Financing

I am employed by Commercial Fleet Financing and serve as the company’s National Sales Manager.

This personalized website gives businesses a direct way to learn about the types of commercial equipment purchases I focus on, understand how I approach an inquiry, and contact me directly when they have a financing need.

My role is to understand the equipment purchase, help organize the information involved, and coordinate the process between the buyer, seller, and applicable financing source.

Final credit decisions, rates, terms, financing structures, and availability are determined by the applicable financing source. I do not personally make final credit decisions.

How I Help Businesses

What Working Directly With Me Looks Like

Understand the Purchase

I begin with the equipment, seller, purchase amount, intended business use, and timing. These details give me a practical picture of the transaction.

Identify What May Be Needed

Different purchases require different information. I help clarify which business, equipment, ownership, seller, or purchase documents may be relevant.

Coordinate the Process

I help organize communication and information between you, the seller, and the applicable financing source as the transaction progresses.

Stay Available for Questions

You have a direct point of contact when questions arise about the inquiry, documentation, seller information, or next steps.

EQUIPMENT FINANCING

Commercial Equipment Financing Across Different Industries

My work is not limited to one equipment category or one type of business. Transportation is one of the commercial equipment categories currently detailed on this website, including commercial trucks and fleet vehicles, trailers, reefers and dry vans, and tow trucks and recovery vehicles.

I also work with commercial equipment purchases across broader industries such as construction, waste and recycling, manufacturing, healthcare and medical equipment, and other qualifying commercial equipment categories.

The dedicated service pages provide more detail for buyers who already know the type of equipment they need to finance.

New, Used and Private-Party Purchases

Different Equipment Purchases Need Different Information

I may work with new equipment, used equipment, dealer purchases, vendor transactions, and qualifying private-party purchases.

A dealer transaction may begin with an invoice and equipment details. A used-equipment purchase may require additional information about condition, ownership, title, or value.

Private-party transactions can require seller verification, proof of ownership, title and lien information, equipment condition, purchase documents, and valuation information where requested.

The exact information depends on the equipment, seller, transaction, and applicable financing requirements.

FROM MY EXPERIENCE

Start With the Equipment Purchase, Not Just the Financing

The clearest financing conversations begin with understanding the actual transaction.

When you contact me, I prefer to start with six practical details: what equipment you are buying, who is selling it, the purchase amount, whether the equipment is new or used, how it will support your business, and when you hope to complete the purchase.

Once those details are clear, I can explain what additional business, ownership, equipment, seller, or purchase information may be needed.

Providing complete information can make the conversation more efficient, but it does not determine approval. Final decisions remain subject to the applicable financing source and the complete transaction.

WORK WITH CHRIS

Have an Equipment Purchase in Mind?

If you have already identified the equipment you want to purchase, the Financing Inquiry is the best place to start. Share the equipment, seller, purchase amount, intended use, and timing so I can personally review the initial details.

If you are still evaluating the purchase or want to ask questions before submitting detailed information, use the Contact Chris page to speak with me first.
