Mike Bloch

Mike joined AmeriSave Mortgage Corporation in 2015 and has progressed steadily through roles of increasing responsibility: Sr. Loan Originator (2015-2017), Production Flow Sales/Ops Manager (2017-2018), AVP of Production Flow Sales/Operations (2018-2019), VP of Operations (2019-2020), SVP of Operations (2020-2025), and his current role since June 2025. He leads operational strategy, process optimization, and the delivery of efficient, borrower-friendly mortgage experiences.

Mike holds a Bachelor's in Finance from Florida State University and has earned Google certifications in Digital Sales and Ads, combining traditional financial education with modern digital expertise. His career path began in Applied American Politics before he transitioned to mortgages in 2008-a pivotal year in the industry that shaped his understanding of operational risk and the importance of sustainable lending practices.

Before joining AmeriSave, Mike worked as a Mortgage Banker at LendingTree (2011-2012) and Sr. Mortgage Banker at Discover Financial Services (2012-2015), building expertise across origination, operations, and customer-facing processes.

Based in Louisville, KY, Mike is married with three children (ages 9, 6, and 4) who are active in sports. His family life keeps him grounded in the real-world concerns of borrowers navigating mortgages while managing busy lives. This perspective informs his operational philosophy: simplify the path to homeownership and remove unnecessary friction from the process.

Mike's content focuses on operational transparency, process explanations, reducing borrower anxiety, understanding the behind-the-scenes work that makes digital lending possible, and helping borrowers know what to expect at each stage. His writing style is clear, calming, and reassuring-like a friend who's been through the process and can explain what really matters. He uses analogies and plain language to make concepts digestible, frames content around real consumer questions and frustrations, avoids industry lingo unless he explains it in plain terms, and includes "what this really means for you" sections. Mike's approach is straightforward and to the point, approachable but not simplistic-assuming readers are smart, just not mortgage experts-direct about what matters and gentle about what doesn't, empathetic and empowering.
