Biography

After 22 years of building, leading and managing large scale enterprise FHA/VA production entities, most recently as Vice-President and National Retail Government Production Risk Manager at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage (the nations #1 mortgage lender), Tony Gallegos stepped off the corporate treadmill...thus providing rare but powerful evidence it is actually possible for an individual to re-emerge from the corporate collective, even after full assimilation has occurred.

My Story

In 1986, Tony began his mortgage banking career at the age of twenty-three. As a mortgage originator, he quickly reached the top one-percent of the industry (412 funded loans in one year) by the time he was twenty-nine.

In 1989, Tony joined a start-up mortgage banking operation and over the next eleven years directed its growth to the point of funding in excess of $2 Billion dollars in mortgage production. Due to the success and remarkable growth, his operational, marketing and sales strategies were highlighted in both the Denver Post and Hispanic Business Magazine.

In 2002, he accepted a position with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. Tony quickly rose through the corporate ranks and was promoted on average every fourteen months. Subsequently he served in the capacity of Area Sales Manager, National Government Sales Product Manager and to his final position at as Vice-President and National Retail Government Production Risk Manager.

As Vice-President and National Retail Government Production Risk Manager at Wells Fargo Home Mortage, Tony successfully managed the retail production risk and quality of FHA/VA production that exploded from $6 Billion in 2007 to an estimated $30 Billion in 2009. More amazingly, despite record breaking volume increases and a severe shortage of experienced government sales and fulfillment staff, key government quality metrics improved by over 50% during this period.

As a consequence of the 450% plus growth in residential government loan volume, there was a need nationally to train en masse the Wells Fargo team in the intricacies of selling and fulfilling quality FHA/VA loan products. Thus, a critical component of this unprecedented growth involved extensive enterprise wide FHA/VA employee training/assessment and implementation of quality control measures in the origination, processing, underwriting, closing, post closing, insuring, regulatory compliance, loan delivery, servicing and loan administration of government loans.

In addition, Tony has been intimately involved and worked directly with HUD, OTC and the Inspector General (IG) in regards to FHA/VA audits national in scope and scale.

Tony is a University of Colorado (B.S.) and University of California at Berkeley (M.S.) alumnus and will complete an additional Masters Degree in Global Marketing the fall of 2010 at one of the world’s leading academic institutions.
