The following TruStone Financial employees took five of the top fifteen spots for the 2017 Top HELOC Volume ranking across the United States: Aaron Gerber (2), Larry Lasch (4), Derek Bostrom (7), Kara Askey (9) and Nancy Pierson (11). All five of these employees work on the credit union’s TruPartner Network Team, which focuses on production in the secondary mortgage market with bridge and consumer loans.
