Following a number of years as Assistant Vice President/Senior Financial Analyst in consumer lending finance supporting retail mortgage, credit card, installment and student lending, he accepted the position of Vice President/Finance Manager for nationwide mortgage production with First Nationwide Mortgage Corporation.
