After starting out as a banking management trainee, just five years into his career Lykken launched a loan origination software company that grew into a national, publicly-traded tech firm. Lykken went on to found and lead two highly successful, California-based mortgage banking companies and became acting partner in a national mortgage bank.<\/p>\n<p>Dedicated to helping mortgage lenders nurture the health of their organizations, Lykken founded TMS in 2015 and in 2017 co-founded Ainsworth Advisors, where he currently coaches early-stage lenders and mortgage banking behemoths for success.
