Alex’s favorite part of his job:

“The best part of my job is working with my clients to loan approval. At Dorr, we deal with many first-time buyers, and new pilots that are just starting out. For me, the satisfaction in the voice of a newly approved applicant, knowing that I am helping to advance their dreams of flight, makes the job well worth it.
