Lance Morgan gave his Classification Talk on Friday. He was raised on a cherry farm in The Dallas, Oregon. Attended WSU and was on crew there. Instead of pursuing an interest in the cherry farm, he joined Morgan Stanley for his initial job as a receptionist. After participating in the mortgage lending industry, Lance opened his own Mortgage Lending Company through C2 Financial as a small independent business.
Lance enjoys working with and helping people. He described himself as heads down, working hard to help people achieve their home ownership. His hard work ethic is an outgrowth of his early childhood working on the cherry farm. The farm was 120 acres in The Dallas with another 20 acres devoted to raising farm animals such as turkeys, pigs and more. His parents bought the farm in 1985. He had to work for everything that he got. He said he had a cool upbringing. Family eventually sold the farm.
When he moved to Lake Stevens, he was looking for a networking group and stumbled on the work and service to the community of our Rotary Club and decided he wanted to become an active member.
