Some wisdom for your Wednesday. You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do. Eleanor Roosevelt #wednesdaywordsofwisdom

I am, like many, rendered speechless by the continuous sacrifice and level of service so freely given by first responders, doctors, and other medical professionals, particularly during these difficult times. At Academy Mortgage, we want to extend a heart-felt THANK YOU to our heroes. For any questions or for additional details on this offer, please reach out!

Ruben Gonzalez, a four-time Olympian in the luge, spoke during our Town Hall address recently. His inspirational story illustrates the power of perseverancemaking the decision to never quit despite the odds. His bulldog strategy was to outlast his competition, no matter how hard it got. It’s this unwavering dedication that made him the first person to compete in four Winter Olympic Games in four different decades. His path to success has been a journey rather than a single... destination. All of us needed to hear this life-lessonpersevere. Don’t give up. Enjoy the journey. At Academy, our team has accomplished more than we thought possiblethis year especiallyto keep up with the demands of the mortgage industry. Thank you to our phenomenal Academy familylike Ruben, you are true examples of perseverance!

I continue to be amazed by Academy Mortgage! On our last company Town Hall, CEO James Mac Pherson surprised us by designating Election Day a company holiday this year. Voting is a right, and Academy employees have been given the opportunity to exercise this right without the workday stress. #deliverdreams #inspirehope #buildprosperity #vote2020
