Rylan was born in the Philippines on Clark AFB where his father was deployed as an Air Force Pilot. He didn’t know it at the time, but growing up in a military family would give him the unique perspective of the lifestyle of his future clients. In 2010, Rylan relocated back to Hawaii, where shortly after a friend introduced him to the mortgage industry. In just three years, Rylan became branch manager of their Hawaii branch. Rylan almost exclusively focused on VA loans, in fact 98% of all business was VA for his the first five years. He grew a passion for helping veterans fully understand the power of their entitlement with the VA Home Loan Benefit, and embraced the mantra of one of his mentors, “If it helps the Veteran, and doesn’t harm the company – we’re going to do it”. Since joining the mortgage industry, Rylan has had the opportunity to hold multiple positions to include LOA, Loan Officer, Production/Operations Manager, Branch Manager, and Area Manager. Holding these positions have allowed him to understand the pain points and bottle necks in the lending process and build solutions for borrowers and Loan Officers.
