Teamed with COO, Linda Pring, the two navigated the one St. Louis office of 50+ employees to become the St. Louis Business Journal’s Top Lender in St. Louis all while opening over 20 additional licensed office locations throughout the nation. Schukar and Pring attribute the company’s great success to their now 500+ employees. The company’s belief in their employees proves true, as USA Mortgage was also named by the St. Louis Business Journal as a Best Places to Work since 2014.
