Taking the Beatin' Path

What does it take to rebuild your life when everything has been stripped away — your health, your finances, and even your memory? Aaron Chapman knows that answer better than most. His path to becoming one of the top mortgage professionals in the country ran through cattle ranches, oil fields, mining operations, and a motorcycle accident that left him with 17 broken bones, a head injury, and a negative net worth. He had to relearn how to walk, rebuild his memory, and reconstruct his business from the ground up. Today, Aaron is ranked in the top 1% of mortgage loan originators in the country — out of more than one million — advising over 100 clients a month on the acquisition and financing of cash-flow positive investment properties. His success is a testament to what faith, grit, and relentless persistence can build — even from the very bottom.
