The Mortgage Quarterback (Photo: Business Wire) According to VanNote, "I was never truly excited about the mortgage industry. I looked at this industry as a significant challenge, entering it ull-time at the age of 21, during the height of the real estate market meltdown and the Great Recession. My passion has always been helping people and giving back, especially to children and to those less fortunate. I was able to put up solid numbers in deals from the day I started in the business and was able to clear hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in annual income for the last decade. I was very fortunate to be taught a relentless work ethic, which was the catalyst to my early success. It's now time to take a shot on myself and put my natural abilities in god's hands to see what comes of it. I believe my experience in this industry, real estate and mortgage, respectively, will be recognized as the app develops. It's time to change the game, and I'm going to do it the right way. "The industry is very old and there is a significant gap in business between the mortgage legends of the 1970s and '80s, such as my dad, and the new breed of mortgage lenders entering the marketplace. Luckily, I am the rare hybrid of old-school thinking and new-school execution, with an understanding of millennial consumers and technology. I can confidently say I am going to give this my all. I haven't given up on myself yet, and I never will. "We are going to create the number-one national resource center for home owners and future home owners and foster a sense of community never seen before, comprised of amazing people who feel fulfilled by giving back. "For 10 years I didn't have fun. Now, I am having more fun than ever. It is directly correlated to being surrounded by amazing people with the same amazing goals in mind. My team is second to none. It's game time." VanNote has an interesting story with a background and history of sports, specifically football. Giving his all and pushing his mind and body to very uncomfortable limits is normal to him. To him, the hardest part of his life has come and gone, and everything up to this point has been training for what's to come. Now it's up to him to execute on his life purpose.
