Dr. Williams says, "I have found that originating and teaching reverse mortgages has been one of the most satisfying and rewarding careers of my life. I believe we all have a purpose in life. My purpose is to teach, which is what I have been doing in one form or another for most of my life.

I also enjoy working with seniors, and have the utmost respect for them (and I AM one!). To me there is no more important function of a reverse mortgage professional than the honest and ethical dealings with their senior clients. I teach this when coaching & educating reverse mortgage loan consultants, and I practice this myself when working directly with seniors on their loans".
