My name is Shane Prince. I’m a senior loan officer at New American Funding. I joined New American Funding because I was looking for a place to start. Before I started here, I was a fulltime college student, had no idea what I was going to do. When ended up learning about mortgages, I realized it was going to be the career for the rest of my life. I started here about four years ago, almost to this day. Was a loan officer for about two years now. And for the past two years I’ve been presidents, council both years.

Every step of the way. I was told when to make my calls, how to speak on the phone, how to ensure that I got all my work done prior to leaving for the day. I met management, I met the people that were there making a difference in this industry few names. Christopher Thompson. Ray Williams. Drew Haberl. And it truly inspired me to get to know the industry, to get to know what mortgages are and to understand that we are helping people achieve the American Dream every day. A lot of stress, a lot of issues along the way, but none of that, it would have been worth it without that. That’s what it takes, and that's what it took to get to where I'm at.
