Guru Spotlight

This month we'd like to introduce you to David Dickinson. David began his career at the FDIC as an examiner and later became a Loan Officer for a $110 million bank. In 1993 he established the firm of Banker's Compliance Consulting and continues to serve as president.

You're most likely to spot David posting a message on Bankers' Threads. You'll also find him conducting Webinars for BOL Learning Connect. His most recent HUD-1 and Escrow seminars drew rave reviews from attendees.

David has also written several manuals on lending and operations compliance -- you'll find them in our Banker Store.
