SETH ASHER

Seth is an honors graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he has a dual-concentration in Finance and Entrepreneurial Management. After Wharton, he joined Goldman Sachs, on Wall Street in New York. After working for Goldman for a number of years, he launched a real estate investment and holding company.  Designed to take advantage of overlooked macro-demographic and macro-socioeconomic trends with a sound business model, his company was able to attract multi-million dollar investments sourced all over the nation.  After four years as Chief Executive, he determined the optimal time to sell the company's principal holdings.  Upon divesting the assets and distributing profits, Seth re-located to Beverly Hills, California, to be closer to his family and started the mortgage business.  Continuously throughout his career, Seth has performed management consulting/financial advisory services for individuals, businesses and government entities.  After a long stretch of advisory engagements relating to mortgages and real estate, years ago he launched his latest real estate finance business -- with intentionally zero equity participation on individual transactions -- as a residential and commercial mortgage lending institution and mortgage brokerage company.

BRANDON PICO

Born in Newport, Rhode Island, Brandon excelled acamademically and athletically in school and graduated from Arizona State University.  After graduation, he signed with the Chicago Cubs as professional baseball player.  He retired from baseball after his 3rd shoulder surgery.  At the end his baseball career, Brandon entered the mortgage industry a number of years ago.  He earned Rookie of the Year Honors at a direct lender, Advanced Financial Services.  He transferred to San Diego to work for Accredited Home Loans, an established sub-prime wholesale lender, to work as a wholesale account executive.  At Accredited, Brandon became extraordinarily skillful at structuring difficult deals; often the "undoable" deals would land in Brandon's pipeline, and get funded.  He loves challenges and closes a majority of other peoples' turn-downs based strictly on his creative under­writing knowledge.  He has knowledge of every possible loan scenario, as he has funded hundreds and hundreds of loans.  Brandon now lives in Brentwood, California (Los Angeles).  He funds loans for us, does stand-comedy and writes scripts.

STEVE WILSON

Steve is a tremendously successful mortgage loan officer on our team, and we all appreciate having him. A former executive at Castle Rock Entertainment (Motion picture and television production company having produced: Seinfeld, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men, City Slickers, In the Line of Fire, Absolute Power, Honeymoon in Vegas, The American President, and the Green Mile), his industry contacts have been a boon to our business. In the entertainment industry, he worked one-one-one on a daily basis with A-list Hollywood elite: Rob Reiner, Hugh Grant, Alan Horn and so on. His wife and two kids are very proud of him, as we all are. Steve attended the University of Virginia and graduated with honors, with a degree in English Literature. He is a former professional tennis player, having ranked 781^st in the world at the ATP level. Unfortunately a hip injury meant he had to retire from tennis and now he sticks to the swimming pool for daily exercise. Steve has originated countless dollars of loans in his career, and we imagine he would be ranked in the world standings for that as well. He is also a long-time friend of a principal investor in and founder of our parent company. Steve Wilson serves as our moral compass whenever we encounter any difficult ethical questions, and is the Director of Compliance at our parent company, OlympiaWest Mortgage Group.
