Dave Kammerer is a personal friend and mentor. And at one point in time he was also my neighbor! Dave has extensive experience in the field of financial lending. He leads a high performance team of top financiers for Summit Funding and works with select business clients for coaching services.
Dave has mentored me on developing a money mindset, picking apart my business model, and helping me to really understand what it means to “have your money work for you.” I was lucky enough to befriend him, probably because we both share a passion for classic cars. But generally, the advice and insight Dave has given me is something most senior business people line up and wait for.
I’m honored to have Dave join us, and I’m sure you’ll get some good takeaways from one of the guys who helped me get to where I am today.
