ARTICLE:

ReverseVision, a leading software and technology provider for the reverse mortgage industry, today announced that industry expert Mark Johnson has joined its team in the role of Customer Service Manager. Johnson, who brings more than twenty years of reverse mortgage expertise, replaces Joseph Rinner who has moved into the role of Product Manager.

Prior to joining ReverseVision, Johnson played lead roles with reverse lender mainstays such as Generation Mortgage, Financial Freedom and Unity Mortgage.

"I've had my hands in the reverse lending space since its early days," said Johnson, "and I'm excited to apply what I know to help the vast majority of the industry which makes up our customer base."

By hiring Johnson, ReverseVision can now shift Rinner's attention to designing new tools focused on helping Originators to be more successful. ReverseVision recruited Rinner last year to draw upon his practical knowledge and experience in the industry. Rinner played various origination roles with leading lenders including AAG, Liberty Home Equity Solutions, and Generation Mortgage. He has personally closed hundreds of reverse mortgages, and his expertise in the sales side of the business makes him an ideal fit for this Product Manager role.

"I know what tools worked for me in the past, and I've thought about the tools I wish I had," stated Rinner. "I plan on combining my knowledge with what our customers want us to bring to market to produce some amazing enhancements to our platform."

The first module Rinner is targeted to release is a contact management system (CMS).

"ReverseVision is focused on serving its loyal base of reverse mortgage lenders with superior technology solutions and expertise across all aspects of your business," said ReverseVision President John Button. "Adding Mark, a professional of unparalleled expertise, and better leveraging Joe's origination background, helps us better serve our clients and the industry."

About ReverseVision:

ReverseVision, Inc. is a leading software and technology provider for the reverse mortgage industry offering products and services focused exclusively on reverse mortgages. More reverse mortgages are originated monthly using ReverseVision than all other systems combined. ReverseVision has partnered with some of the finest and fastest growing lending organizations in the US to provide the leading reverse mortgage technology to brokers, correspondents, lenders and investors.

ARTICLE:

Self-Publishing, Inc., a New York-based publishing services company, has appointed Andrew Pate to the position of Senior VP, Business Development. Pate's accomplishments include growing Lightning Print into one of the largest Print-on-Demand (POD) providers in the world, now Lighting Source. In addition, he oversaw the increase of sales at Lulu from $5 Million to $35 Million.

Pate was most recently the Senior Vice President, Business Development of On Demand Books, the creator of the Expresso Book Machine.

Mr. Pate got his start in publishing as Executive VP and COO of Rutledge Hill Press in 1996. During his tenure there, he successfully managed business through transition to sale to Thomas Nelson.

Self-Publishing, Inc. was started in New York City in 1997, introducing a group of complimenting printers to the New York publishing market. The business quickly evolved into a publishing services business and has overseen the production of millions of copies of many thousands of titles.

While the core business continues to be book printing, the services have increased to include editorial services, book layout and cover design (including ebook design), marketing, as well as book storage and fulfillment. POD distribution is provided through its Thor Distribution program.

It was during the establishment of this program, that Ron Pramschufer and Dana Cole, principal owners of Self-Publishing, Inc. first met Andrew Pate.

Says Pramschufer, "Andrew is one of the most knowledgeable, experienced professionals in the self-publishing sector. We're thrilled to have him aboard to help us continue to evolve into a full-service publishing option for independent authors who seek the highest quality printing and customer care."

According to Pramschufer and Cole, Pate will hit the ground running.

Pate says, "Self-Publishing, Inc. has been carefully developed into the respected company that it is today. Unlike the many variations of vanity presses which have historically dominated the self-publishing sector, it is one of the very few 'true' self-publishing services company whose stated goal is to turn authors into publishers. It's my goal to help the company emerge as the undisputed industry leader."
