@robertwesler
I've led credit risk, underwriting, and portfolio decisions across mortgage, consumer, and specialty lending for over 20 years.
What I'm looking for
I've led credit risk and underwriting decisions across consumer, mortgage, marine, RV, aircraft, and specialty lending for more than 20 years. Most recently at Miracle Auto Group, I managed a $9 million consumer lending portfolio, serving as the primary credit authority for complex loan structures, stipulations, and policy exceptions.
At Professional Financial Services, I directed complex underwriting for high-volume subprime consumer lending, using income analysis, collateral valuation, repayment capacity, LTV analysis, and layered-risk assessment to strengthen portfolio quality. I also coordinated underwriting, servicing, collections, and repossession activities while maintaining policy and regulatory compliance.
At USA Specialty Lending, I provided portfolio oversight for marine, aircraft, RV, and luxury vehicle financing and developed a national collateral tracking system that improved compliance efficiency, reporting accuracy, and asset monitoring. Earlier, at Lobel Financial Corporation, I funded more than 1,900 retail installment contracts while supporting a 400-plus dealer network.
My mortgage background includes forensic underwriting and quality assurance at Chase Bank, where I reviewed more than 600 residential mortgage files to identify fraud indicators, underwriting deficiencies, documentation inconsistencies, and income calculation errors. I bring disciplined credit judgment, fraud prevention, regulatory awareness, and operational leadership to complex lending decisions.
