Prior to joining AAG, Zepfel held leadership positions at Bank of America, AXA Equitable and Wells Fargo.

AAG allows baby boomers to bridge that gap with a reverse mortgage which is exciting for me. As VP of Operations, I plan to build the best team I can. It’s really the people on the team that make the company. And then maintain their excitement about AAG’s future.”
