Mike Easterly

A lesson that too many people in the service industry never learn—or too quickly forget—is not lost on Michael. He has always lived by—and based his professional success on—Virginia Tech’s motto, “Ut Prosim,” which translates to “That I may serve.” He did so with honor at Southern Trust Mortgage where he spent 10 years as a Branch Manager/Loan Officer, earning President’s Club and Manager of the Year honors. A veteran of more than 30 years in the mortgage business, Michael joined Mason Dixon Funding in 2009 as branch manager of the company’s office in Salem, VA before becoming part of the Embrace Home Loans team.

A native of Bedford, VA, Michael earned a B.S. in Marketing Management from Virginia Tech, becoming the first of his family to graduate from college. He is an active member of the Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, VA and a loyal supporter of the Virginia Tech Athletic Association. He is an avid animal lover and dedicates much of his free time to rescuing orphaned cats.
