May 2008:
After high school I went to Yakima Valley College for 3 years. As you might know, I spent more time running around the track than studying and I fell more than a quarter behind my class so Uncle Sam called. Joined the Air Force and spent some time in Madison, Wisconsin, Tacoma, Washington and Tuy Hoa, Vietnam. I retired after 3.5 years and went to work for a bank in Tacoma (Puget Sound National Bank).
Another bank hired me away to start a mortgage company for them. After a couple of years there the bank sold so I started my own mortgage company. It grew to 115 offices in 23 western states and I sold it in 1996 to a large lender in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
I am now a mortgage banker. I work out of my house and do mostly private money transactions. |
