Aaron Chapman
Author of Redneck Economics, EVP of Investment Lending
Big-game hunter from cattle country — Alaska moose, Arizona mule deer, New Zealand.
One of the top-ranked mortgage originators in the United States, specializing in real estate investment lending. Executive Vice President at a national lending firm. Built his career from scratch after entering the industry in December 1997 with no background in finance. Author of Redneck Economics, a three-and-a-half-year project backed by a quarter million dollar investment and illustrated by his brother.
Big-game hunter with roots in cattle country. Grew up hunting birds in the American West and rekindled his passion for the field after a devastating 2008 motorcycle accident. Completed a 10-day Alaska moose hunt along the Yukon River — six moose in six days, packed out on foot. Also hunts mule deer in Northern Arizona and has been to New Zealand.
Aaron's story is the definition of radical tenacity — from picking up coins to buy diapers to becoming one of the top originators in the country. His philosophy on pain, perseverance, and faith translates directly from the field to the deal table.
“Life is hard. There's no cheat code. Pick your path, get your ass on it, and keep moving forward.”
