About Us

Founder

A Personal Mission for Professional Recovery

I didn’t start Candor Surplus Group just to find funds. I started it because I know exactly what it feels like to be on the other side of the door.

When I was young, I watched my own family endure the weight of foreclosure. I saw firsthand how overwhelming and confusing the system can be when you are at your most vulnerable. That experience stayed with me.

Today, my goal is to help families turn a difficult chapter into a fresh start. There is no better feeling than telling a client that their check has arrived. Seeing that sense of relief, and knowing they now have the capital to move forward, is exactly why I do this work.

Seattle Roots, Nationwide Reach

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. Seattle is not just where I work; it is my home. Whether I am in my Seattle office or out hiking the trails with my Rottweiler, Ole, the values of this region—hard work, honesty, and transparency—are built into everything I do.

While Candor is based in Washington, we use our network and expertise to help claimants recover their rightful funds across the United States.

The Candor Promise: Transparency in Motion

The name Candor is not just a brand. It is a commitment to being an open book. We believe in:

Constant Guidance


We do more than file paperwork. We provide attentive, step-by-step guidance throughout the process. If there is a delay at the county level, you will hear from us with a simple message: “We’re still here, and we’re still on it.”

Security & Trust


Your security comes first. We never handle your funds directly. Every dollar is processed through our trusted legal partners, and we are always happy to introduce you to them for your peace of mind.

Family Values


When you work with Candor, you are never just a case number. You are treated like family.
