John is a full time originator in Oakland, CA. Caught particularly vulnerable when the 2007 ‘mortgage meltdown’ hit, he committed to a complete business reboot. Three years into his second run in the business, in 2010 he enjoyed personal records in both production and revenue. He attributes the recent success to his willingness to explore and adopt new technology, a vehement appetite for knowledge, and a renewed commitment to some of the business basics – not to mention a little dose of humility and a lot of hard work.
