I earned my degree in Speech Communication and Public Relations from NDSU (Go Bison!) in 1996 and spent 12 years working in the supplemental insurance industry. The 5 years previous to that I was a missionary with a Christian ministry.

I am a North Dakota native but lived outside of North Dakota for a number of years before moving back in 2005. I have been blessed to have been able to travel to several countries outside of the US as well 47 of the 50 states. I love traveling and meeting new people! I never forget a face so if I recognize someone, I’ve more than likely already met them somewhere and it’s always fun to try to figure out the connection! I have an amazing and supportive husband and I’m the mom of 3 kiddos (a son and a set of twin daughters) who keep me on my toes!

I love being a mortgage broker! I started lending in the fall of 2017 and every year it just gets better! In 2021, I was voted Best Loan Originator in the Bismarck Tribune’s Best of the Best contest. In 2021 I was also awarded the Affiliate of the Year through the Bismarck -Mandan Board of Realtors. I’ve always prided myself on my work ethic and commitment to customer service and I know those skills serve me well in this career. Being able to offer the best rates and personalized customer service while also helping people save money (whether they are looking to buy or refinance) are just a few of the reasons I am so excited to be working with my cousin Robert and his great team at Mountain State Financial Group!

Since learning about Mountain State Financial Group and its founders, with their philosophy of providing honest and outstanding pricing and service, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. Saving people time and money without extra fees and headaches aligned with exactly what I wanted to be able to offer my clients, friends, and family in North Dakota.

I grew up in Minot, ND and after high school I went to both UND and Minot State University. I have lived in Bismarck since 1997 and have 2 great beautiful kids who are my “Why” for everything I do in life. They are embarking on their “Adulting” stage in life, so I now get to sit back and watch them make their own decisions and life choices and see if they listened to “Mom” at all growing up!

I retired from 33 years of Law Enforcement in 2020 and have jumped headfirst into this new professional chapter of my life. Law Enforcement is part of my DNA, and my “Blue Family” will always be just that, family. I am grateful, honored and humbled from the time spent in my career & because of the people I have met and experiences I have had. This new chapter is so rewarding because I still get to help people and love hearing their stories about their families and life. Being licensed in Minnesota and Colorado as well as North Dakota allows me to reach more families.

My hobbies are family, riding my Harley and anything in or on the water. Wind and water therapy cures a lot of things!! Now I need something in the winter… I believe my integrity, strong work ethic, and love for helping people are beneficial for our customers. I work hard for my clients with purchase and refinancing needs. The personalized customer service we offer along with being available evenings and weekends is a game-changer in my mind. Let me help you with one of the biggest and most exciting purchases you will ever make and not only save you time and money but also make it as easy and fun as possible.

I grew up in Bismarck, ND and have lived here most of my life. I am a graduate of Bismarck High School and the University of North Dakota. I lived in Grand Forks for several years, where I met my wife, Amanda. After moving back to Bismarck in 2003, I worked as a Business Manager for 8 years. From there, I got into the housing business and have been doing it ever since.

I have been best of friends with Robert, Seth and a few other employees of Mountain State Financial Group since I was a kid. After, talking about joining the company for the last few years, I decided to take the leap. Knowing how successful, honest, and hardworking Robert and Seth have been in the financing world, it made it an easier decision to join MSFG. My wife and I have been blessed with 2 wonderful little kids- Ella and Eli. Away from work, I love spending quality time with my family and friends.

The best part of my working career has been building relationships with customers. I truly love knowing that I helped someone or a family get a new home. I believe if a customer puts their faith in me, it is my job to honestly and whole-heartedly find them the best loan for their needs. I am passionate about what I do and am always a quick phone call, message, or email away. Contact me any time for a free consultation. 701-214-8705

I am excited to join the Mountain State Financial Group family. And it is literally family. My cousin Bob is the President and sisters Tanya and Kara also work for the company. I have been in the financial services industry for over 10 years and client care and customer service have always been my primary focus. Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you can make, and it can be a scary process if you do not have someone looking out for your best interest. My philosophy is to treat every client like I would want someone to treat my parents. My promise is to listen to your goals and provide a clear path on how to get you the best possible rate for your home.

When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, and watching football. I was born and raised in ND and went to school at NDSU so that makes me a HUGE Bison football fan. I have enjoyed watching the NFL teams where our Bison players end up. I live in Austin, TX but spend my summers in ND to be closer to my family and get out of the Texas heat.

KARA GARDNER

The last decade-plus of my life has been dedicated to some variation in the customer service industry. I have worked in banking, insurance, childcare, electric, and most recently with a firm that specializes in jury research. I have gotten to know people, their families, and gained a unique understanding of the financial triumphs and struggles affecting their lives. A Mortgage, in most cases, is the most expensive and life-changing financial decision one makes. When I was approached about working with Mountain State Financial Group and spoke with Bob about the company’s founding and future, I honestly thought “Here is someone who cares about doing things right”. I strive to put my attention to detail, perfectionistic tendencies, and overall work ethic to the test so I can help make the home buying experience smooth and stress-free for our clients.

I was born and raised in North Dakota but relocated with my husband when he took a teaching position at a university in 2018. I have a huge extended family in North Dakota and lifelong friends around the country so I enjoy a good road trip to visit them whenever the travel bug hits (which is often). In addition to traveling, I love music, reading, dancing, crocheting, watching a good Korean Drama, and enjoying nature/hiking. Hiking highlight of my life so far is walking the Camino De Santiago pilgrimage in Spain (French Way) for about two months summer of 2019.

DESIRAE MOSER

I started my career in this industry in 2011 as an Escrow Closing Officer for a title company in my area. I spent the next 12 years serving my industry with enthusiasm and developing relationships with various Lenders, Realtors and Brokers. One of these being Mountain State Financial Group. I knew from the beginning this industry was for me.

Watching Mountain State Financial Group take off in North Dakota and developing great business relationships with their brokers and owners, I was able to see the outstanding customer service they provide to their customers. Having the same work ethics as these individuals, it was an easy decision when I was ready to change career paths, that I join this awesome team and I was grateful they wanted me to come on as a Licensed Mortgage Broker.

I am born and raised in Bismarck, North Dakota and I graduated from Bismarck High School.
I met my husband in my second year of college, in 2002. We married in 2007, and we have two daughter, ages 21 and 13. In my spare time, I love to work out, as fitness is very important to me. I love to spend time on the river in the summer, and I love to host any kind of get together that brings friends and family together.

My passion to serve my customers is what drives me and you can rely on me to make sure that making one of the biggest investments in your life, is pleasurable, painless, fun and something you will never forget.

We welcome you to meet with us at any of our three locations. Please call today to schedule your visit!
