I left the blue collar world at age 20 to start my career in the mortgage business in 2004. I started at a California Mortgage Brokerage where I did my first reverse mortgage. In 2011 I joined HighTechLending Inc. as the Operations Manager for the Reverse Department. As we grew over the years from doing 5 loans a month to 165 loans, I encountered countless different scenarios to draw experience from.
