Your Instructor

Michael Boggiano brings over 30 years of hands-on experience in small balance commercial lending, credit underwriting, and loan structuring. Earlier in his career he served as Senior Vice President and Head of Originations for a premier small balance commercial lending platform, where he played a key role in driving over $2.9 billion in loan production. He created the Academy for Commercial Lending out of a frustration with the state of commercial lending education, overpriced courses, underqualified instructors, and programs that overpromised and underdelivered. Every course in the Academy is built around how deals actually work, not theory. Michael holds CPA and CPM designations, both inactive, reflecting a strong foundation in accounting and property management that continues to inform his approach to commercial lending education.
