Frank Kuri has set himself apart in the mortgage banking industry, building a career that extends over 32 impactful years. Entering the field in 1991 as a loan originator, he quickly climbed the ranks, eventually earning the title of #1 originator at a leading national mortgage bank. Kuri’s knack for innovation was on full display in 1999, when he pioneered a branch division concept, successfully launching 30 branches across 15 states and consistently closing deals worth more than $750 million annually. Away from spreadsheets and business meetings, he harbors a passion for the great outdoors. His love of nature traces back to childhood visits to state parks, and is maintained today through activities like hiking, camping, mountain biking, and fishing. Kuri also engages in a number of philanthropic endeavors. For the past five years, he's been actively involved in charity events for Operation Smile. His charity work goes beyond mere financial contributions. He's often found rolling up his sleeves to serve meals in community kitchens or provide food to people without housing in New York City. As Kuri marks his 22nd year of collaboration with business associate Maxine Smith, he shows no signs of slowing down. Anchoring his career and life on the cornerstones of professionalism, leadership, and altruism, Frank continues navigating the complexities with skill, compassion, and integrity.
