About Ricki
Ricki's multi-faceted resume, beginning with a two-year stint with the FBI, more than 25 years in the paper industry and as a loan officer with American Home Mortgage and Mason Dixon Funding, reflects the diversity yet consistently distinguished workplace achievements of his professional career. His disposition is a perfect match for the people-oriented mortgage field as is his personal goal of "making at least one new friend each day." In his time as a loan officer, he has secured more than his share of new clients, all of whom acknowledge and appreciate his work ethic and sincerity in securing the best loan for their circumstances.
A native of Marion, OH who spent most of his childhood in Flora, IL, Ricki eventually made his way east and graduated from Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA with a B.A. in Religion and minors in Psychology and Youth Work. He still makes his home in Lynchburg and plays an active role in both his church and the local Chamber of Commerce. He’s very much a family man who enjoys most sports, especially those involving water.

Rick got me approved to begin with. That's what I appreciated the most. He was also very accommodating to both my son and I who asked a million questions of him. He was very patient with me.

You took the time to advise us on making payments that would save us money in the long run. You also kept in constant contact with us to make sure all our requirements were met and how to do them. Everyone at Embrace is highly professional, but friendly and nice to deal with.
