Manginelli entered the financial industry in 1986 and quickly became a top leader and producer for Marina Mortgage in Irvine, CA. While there, he led his branches to high levels of production and routinely produced record-breaking numbers. As a former Vice President of American Home Mortgage, he managed the #1 district in the United States. Dan also served as co-president and owner of South Pacific Financial, based in Irvine, CA, and became a driving force behind the company’s success in several states. He was most recently Senior Vice President of the retail mortgage platform for Inspire, a top 10 national home builder in California. He is also one of the industry’s most sought-after speakers on motivation and success and is the author of top selling books, SHAKE IT UP!

“We are wasting no time as we set the foundation for this exciting expansion,” said Manginelli. “Bob and I are actively recruiting professionals who share our vision to become a major lender in our western region by delivering a high-touch customer experience, understanding the local market, and providing access to loan products for all types of buyers and needs.”
A 30-year veteran of the mortgage industry, Boehnlein brings considerable sales and operations experience to the Ameritrust leadership team. He began his career in the real estate industry in 1985 and joined the mortgage industry in 1991, where he quickly established himself as a top producing loan officer. He then moved to leadership, where he excelled at coaching and developing loan officers to become industry leaders and for building high-producing branches. As a former Regional Vice President for Prospect Mortgage, LLC, he oversaw the Southern California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Arizona Markets.

He recently served as Executive Vice President of ClosingMark Home Loans in Irvine, CA. He also served as district manager at American Home Mortgage for nearly a decade.
“I first began working with Dan in 1991, and as we have progressed and excelled in our careers, we have developed a strong partnership of similar and competing strengths,” said Boehnlein. “We are both excited to take on this challenge and help grow this dynamic company. We are confident that our skillset, along with the outstanding talent at Ameritrust, is a winning combination that will attract strong loan officers, and that our leadership and tools will help them exceed in reaching their short-term and long-term goals.”
