Today, Marcus leads, mentors and coaches an experienced team of mortgage operations leaders who have supported and fulfilled a 100% increase in loan activity and funded volume since October 2019.Prior to joining Guardian Mortgage, Marcus served as vice president of commercial banking for a Dallas bank and as an Internet dot-com business executive. Brought up in a small Nebraska town, he came to Dallas in 1997 to attend Southern Methodist University (SMU) and has remained in the area his entire working career. When not focused on mortgage operations, strategy and initiatives, Marcus enjoys spending time with his four children, participating in a variety of fitness activities, and watching Nebraska Cornhuskers football.
