David will be responsible for expanding the company's footprint in the Great Los Angeles area, while Nally will be responsible for helping the company continue its expansion in the Southern California area, according to a press release.

David entered the financial industry in 2002 and has experience in both originating loans and managing originators.

He has also worked with numerous companies in the industry including Guaranteed Rate Affinity, US Bank Home Mortgage and Bank of America.

"Throughout my career, I have been able to build offices from the ground up. With Planet, I have the backing and the tools to make that process very efficient in the Los Angeles area," said David.

Nally has close to two decades of experience in the industry and has spent time as a loan originator and as a manager. He served as an area sales manager for CMG Financial before joining Planet Home Lending and held previous management roles at companies such as U.S. Bank Home Mortgage, New American Funding and Walter Investment Management Corp., according to a press release.

"There is more to being a successful originator than just closing loans. We want people who have a strong service mindset, and Walt has that,” said Tyler-Cook.

"I understand what it takes to successfully generate business from new and existing homebuyers and to build efficient operational support during expansions," said Nally.
