Biography:

My life in the real estate world started when I was 18 years old. Leaving home to work full time, attending college at night and working 10 hours a day was the life that I knew was for me. My first job which lasted four years started in the foreclosure/servicing department of a private investment company. My ending position was manager of the escrow department in which we handled over 150 new loans per month.

I moved on to write loans for a while but realized that it was not the right type of job for me. At age 22, I moved into the foreclosure world working for an independent trustee as well as other divisions. My position there was Executive Vice President overseeing operations for the foreclosure company, loan servicing company, and origination company. Eight years after working for the firm, I bought the company which is now the PLM Family of Companies. During my ownership, I added the document drawing company and stopped the origination company. So here we are now in 2021 and I have been in this business for 44 years. I am currently the President of the California Mortgage Association.

Why I would like to be a member of the Board of Directors and/or my vision for UTA: 

I have been a member of the UTA (previously CTA) for many decades. I have been on the board for many years previously and have held many positions. I believe that my varied background assists in a well-rounded look at situations when they arise. I do not just see an outcome from one point of view but from many. I have a deep understanding of servicers' views together with the trustees' views. Because of my integral involvement with the California Mortgage Association, being on both boards allows me the gather assistance when a problem arises. I deeply care about this industry as it has been my life for so many years but I am never blind as to what needs to be considered when dealing with borrowers and making sure everything is handled fairly and with competence. I would be honored to be voted back in to board. I would work diligently to assist UTA members to grow and prosper through hard work on the board. Thank you.
