Bob is a 20-year veteran of the mortgage business and has held a variety of Executive and C-level positions utilizing his extensive knowledge of the mortgage capital markets, operations and sales.  He is currently the CEO of LauraMac, LLC, a firm providing technology for the Capital Markets.

Bob is a graduate of Vanderbilt University with a BA in Mathematics.  He is a proud  Commodore and won’t let you forget he played baseball for the reigning National Champions while he was there (apparently, he could not hit a curve ball which led him to a career in the mortgage business).  He followed up his undergraduate degree with an MBA from Tulane University with a concentration in finance and marketing.

After his formal education Bob held a number of roles in finance, treasury and banking before finding the mortgage business and latching on as the Treasurer and SVP of Capital Markets at Option One in southern CA.  He eventually transitioned to the role of Chief Sales Officer at Option One before the collapse of the market.  He then worked his way over to the agency side of the business and ran secondary and capital markets for Nations Direct Mortgage and Greenlight Financial before moving to LenderLive to start a correspondent lending division.

Bob currently resides in southern CA with his wife.  Bob is an avid (although slow) runner and will do almost any activity (hiking, swimming, paddle boarding,…) outside to take advantage of the weather.  In addition to CA, Bob has adopted New Orleans as his hometown.  His wife was born and raised in Louisiana and Bob shares her passion for the New Orleans culture, food and festivals.  He is not shy about taking time off to participate in Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest every year.
