I began in the mortgage industry as a mortgage loan processor in 1991 and became a Licensed Mortgage Broker in 1993. In 1998, I opened my own correspondent lending company. 11 years later, the mortgage lending business started going through massive changes. It was then that I decided that I needed to align my office and team with a solid and stable banking entity. I was introduced to the Cadence Lending Group, a division of Waterstone Mortgage Corp., through my relationship with MGIC in early 2009 and made the decision at that time to become part of Cadence. In 2010, Cadence took the Waterstone Mortgage name in entirety.
