Jeff Kofron

Banking career began in 1985 with Mercantile Bank of St Louis, N.A. Started as Bank Teller and quickly advanced to Personal Banker and then Assistant VP in Acquisitions & Mergers Department during aggressive period of growth with bank. Recruited by Northwestern Mutual Life (NML) and resigned from Mercantile Bank in 1995 to pursue challenging career in the insurance field offering life and health insurance products. Later introduced to a mortgage professional through a connection with NML and began my career as a mortgage loan officer for the next several years. After a brief stint with a start-up Organization in the medical field assisting small to medium sized community hospitals fill their needs for radiologists, I re-entered the mortgage space in 2009 due to the opportunity to join a proven professional for whom I have known and respected for many years in the mortgage business.
