Thomas Morgan, (55) founder and director of Mortgage Management Systems, attended New York University until 1983. He joined the mortgage business in 1983 to review closing documentation for a multifamily lender. Thomas entered residential lending in 1985. He was a top producing loan officer with Wye Mortgage, Citicorp, American Residential-Chase and FMI, and was also a branch and area manager until opening his own mortgage firm, Hamilton Mortgage, in 1992. Along the way he processed, underwrote, closed, funded or serviced over $585,000,000 in mortgages.

At Hamilton he developed an internal training program for loan officers and operations staff. There was so much demand for quality training that, in 1996, he formed QuickStart Mortgage Training. Since then QuickStart has trained over 22,000 loan officers, processors, underwriters and closers, and developed internal training programs for over 1500 banks, credit unions and mortgage companies, including 4 top 25 national lenders. He is the author of 16 mortgage related books. He is or has been a certified trainer for ILCPE, Top Producer, EZ Mortgage, Byte, and Calyx.

Among the books and articles Thomas has written is the Practical Guide series of text books on all facets of the mortgage industry. These are written from the perspective of the professional industry participant, not from an outsider. This series includes text books on loan origination, loan processing, mortgage sales and marketing, regulatory compliance and business planning and management.

In addition to attending New York University, Thomas Morgan has also attended University of Maryland - University College, University of the District of Columbia - School of Urban Planning, and George Mason University.

Thomas lives in Potomac, Maryland, with his wife, Karen, and two children, Taylor and Matthew.
