Dave has written seven books, including two best sellers for the Mortgage Bankers Association of America. One of these books was the first comprehensive book on management published for the industry by the MBA--Managing a Branch Office. He is a columnist for The Mortgage Press, published hundreds of articles and delivered speeches to thousands of loan officers, real estate agents, managers and operations personnel. And he doesn't just theorize. His organizations have closed billions of dollars in transactions, including personally closing over 550 loans in his first 18 months on the street! Dave has also headed the sales force for the top mortgage technology firm in the nation--Ellie Mae and has helped found a Federally-chartered bank and served on its board of directors. During that time, he has been delivering programs that bring more productivity with less stress to managers, sales and operations personnel across the country for twenty years. Dave believes that real success is not rocket science-the formula has been with us for years. Especially with regard to managing in the mortgage industry. The formula involves hard work, vision and great communication. He has developed five rules of management that are easy to understand and follow. And he delivers them with a little humor. Well, perhaps more than just a little. |
