More about Chris Ekeler

“I have lived in the Midwest most of my life and I have always appreciated the hard-working culture the Midwest offers. In my younger years, I played hockey and chased my dream of someday becoming a professional hockey player! I even relocated to Colorado to chase that dream. Hockey taught me to outwork my competitors, move fast, and be decisive as my team members were always counting on me! When that dream ended, I moved back to Omaha and started a family. My wife and five lovely daughters share a passion of working hard, playing hard, loving hard, and serving others! Over the years, most of my work experience was in managing and even owning a business. The work was good but lacked validation for me and real impact on clients’ lives. Understanding that life is short, I knew I wanted my next career to make a difference, bless people, and change lives!

The mortgage industry meets my life goals with respect to both having a lasting impact and a responsibility to my clients’ personal and practical needs! I chose Pillar Financial Mortgage when I realized their company core values align with mine and have enhanced my vision for the future! Now I work hard, serve hard, love hard and play hard! As a man and a family, we have never been happier!”
