I started First Lien Prep because I saw too many smart candidates fail for the wrong reasons.

My career began in Restructuring, where I learned to look at companies through a lens of downside protection and bankruptcy — a skill that became the foundation of my 10-year career in Private Credit from Associate to Principal, working on both originations and underwriting, I evaluated over 300 deals. But as I took on more seniority, I spent just as much time evaluating talent.

After interviewing over 100 candidates, I realized that most prep materials are outdated or generic. They teach you how to be a banker, not an investor. I built this platform to fix that. I use my experience underwriting 15+ deals to teach you how to think like a credit professional, ensuring you walk into your interview speaking the same language as the professionals across the table.
