CAREER SUMMARY
My 28 years of work experience began with formal commercial credit training which allowed me to effectively manage a loan portfolio in my banking career by enabling me to see any potential opportunities or problems for my clients. This ability translated into promotions that eventually led to me managing a commercial loan department. The ability to analyze personal and business tax returns allowed me to effectively transition from a banking environment to the residential mortgage industry. The successful attention to detail was rewarded with higher lending authority and training of new underwriters.
