Blocking shots and making saves: No big deal for one 1st National Bank of Arizona employeeMortgagePress.comTroy Perkins,DC United
Not only is Troy Perkins the goalie for the DC United Major
League Soccer team, he joined 1st National Bank of Arizona (FNBA)
just a little more than six months ago as a wholesale account
manager assistant, supporting one of our top account executives,
Jay Patel.
So, why would an MLS player want to work in the mortgage
business on the side? While he's been a member of the DC United
team for three years and playing soccer his entire life, real
estate is in his blood.
"My mom has been a mortgage loan officer for more than 25 years,
and my dad is a homebuilder," said Perkins. "I've always been
interested in real estate. In my personal time, I surf the Web,
researching market trends and possible investments."
The competitiveness of the major leagues compares to the
competitiveness of the wholesale mortgage industry. As with any
professional sport, once you reach a certain level, players are
fighting for positions. Only those with true talent and a strong
work ethic make it. The same thing holds true in our business.
"It's great to work for a company that is genuinely dedicated to
helping their employees succeed," said Perkins.
Just like in the major leagues, you have to be at the top of
your game to succeed. With great coaching, skilled employees and
the drive to just get it done, FNBA has a winning, competitive
spirit.
