On this episode, Jake and Gino interview Ed Parcaut. Born in Burlingame, California, Ed Parcaut moved multiple times between California and Colorado during his childhood. He enlisted in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman to see the world and got to see San Diego, CA. After 18 months in the Navy, it came time to choose a specialty. He ended up studying physical therapy and Emergency Medicine. During the rest of service, he went to college getting a bachelor’s degree in marketing and a master’s in international business and marketing. After getting out of the Navy, he gave the tech world a try before realizing it was not for him. He turned to work for his neighbor’s mortgage company, which is what stuck. Ed’s love for numbers and helping people have kept him in the mortgage field ever since.
