He is currently working with Pool Originators, Sellers, Investors, and SBA to develop an active market once the guarantee program becomes effective. He is one of the founders of Secondary Market Access (SMA), a consortium of CDC's and financial companies that have organized to source 504 first mortgages, then package, underwrite and facilitate funding through Pool Originators.
