The world of mortgage finance and housing policy is mourning the loss of an amazing iconic leader and friend with the passing of David H. Stevens. As we reflect on his remarkable career, we celebrate his profound impact on the mortgage industry and his enduring legacy. I can think of no better way to honor and remember David, than to listen to the attached interview with David that I had the privilege and honor of recording on June 27th, 2017. In this interview, you will hear David share how he started his career in mortgage lending, his journey and accession to serving in the White House, and most importantly his thoughts on leadership and what influenced him in his journey to become the leader he was and his thoughts about the future of our industry. He transparently talked about how he dealt with cancer. It is inspirational. What comes through in this interview is his passion and dedication serve as an inspiration to those who follow in his footsteps. Even though David is no longer with us, his impact on each of our lives and the housing sector will endure, reminding us all of the profound difference one person can make in the lives of many. I hope you will take the time to listen and share this interview as a tribute to our friend, David Stevens.
