Where are you from?
I am a jersey guy. I’ve lived here all my life! I spent most of my life in south jersey but moved to central jersey about 9 years ago when my son was born. I’m a huge philly fan -Eagles, Flyers, Phillies, Sixers.
What was your first job?
I started mowing lawns in my neighborhood when I was 11 years old, so I could buy candy and play arcade games. When I was old enough I began a paper route. Then I washed dishes for a local restaurant, where I earned $4/hour under the table. After a year I received a raise to $5/hour. The summer after I graduated high school I started my first sales job, selling maintenance products over the phone, b2b. I actually was trained by and worked for the flex seal guy that you likely have seen on TV. I worked for him for 5 years before I was hired as a loan officer at the age of 23. I have been in mortgage sales ever since.
How long have you been in the biz?
I started in the mortgage business on Monday February 2, 1998. I fell in love with this industry immediately!
How many loans do you close per month?
Depends on the year. I was the top producer in 2021 and 2022 – as a manager. $100MM
What are your business goals for the next year?
Help as many souls as I can. Close loans by educating and informing people about the home buying process.
Anything else you’d like me to know?
I will work as hard as possible to exceed my goals. I believe that mortgage sales is not a zero sum game, and that there is enough for everyone to be successful if we focus on helping each other. Being a SE broker is new to me, and I look forward to the challenge. I will take any and all criticism and assistance you have to offer!
