"Throughout my career, I've been passionate about leading teams who develop new and different ways to satisfy customers," Slifer said. "I can't think of a more deserving demographic to help than seniors, and I'm looking forward to helping to facilitate a better way to retire."

Slifer earned a Mechanical Engineering degree from Bucknell University and holds the Certified Mortgage Banker designation from the Mortgage Banking Association.
