Summary
My background is 28 years experience in the Mortgage Industry working with Home Builders, and Realtors. I was employed with Bank of America as a Home Loans Manager for 9 years and Managed a Team of 15 Loan Officers at 5 Branch locations which included Hilton Head S.C., St Mary's, Macon, Savannah, and Bluffton S.C.
I stepped back from Mortgage Lending to pursue a opportunity to Acquire a Non Profit called Hoofs 4 Healing Equestrian Services, which is Therapeutic Horseback riding for families with disabilities and run a Horse Boarding Facility to fund this program.
