Being born and growing up in western Kansas, our Chairman and Executive Vice President, Ryan Wiebe, has never forgotten where he came from. He has not once taken for granted how people in his life--parents, grandparents, friends, family members, coworkers, teachers-- have helped shape his pathway in life. Clearly, the journey to his dreams are inexplicitly linked to the values and work ethic of helping his family during Kansas wheat harvest, playing in the grain trucks and riding in Grandpa’s combine because it was the only one with air-conditioning.
The experiences gained during Ryan’s youth in Kansas were the early stepping stones to accomplishment of his tactical dreams of being a husband, father, builder of business and an entrepreneur. Following graduation from Northwest Missouri State University, Ryan began adding stepping stones to his puzzle of life, much like the magic of the YELLOW BRICK ROAD from the Wizard of OZ.
The brightest of his stepping stones was falling in love with the woman of his dreams, Maureen. They have been blessed with four wonderful children. It was with Maureen’s encouragement and support that Ryan founded First Mortgage Solutions in 2009, which has grown to lending in 17 states and has been ranked as one of the fastest growing companies in Kansas City.
Under Wiebe’s resourceful navigation, the bank is pleased to offer a full suite of unique, low-rate residential mortgage lending products and services. These include VA, FHA and USDA loans and specialized refinance, purchase, home equity and debt consolidation loan programs. We are passionate about helping our customers build financial freedom and wealth through homeownership, utilizing our experience to guide them to the right loan for their personal goals and circumstances. People build their lives around their homes and we believe that the first step to building that life is having an ally that understands how important a home can be to a family.
