A northwest Indiana native, Ru graduated from the United States Naval Academy and commissioned as an officer in the Navy. While serving 10 years as a Civil Engineer Corps Officer, he was stationed around the country and deployed to both Iraq and Guam. Looking for the next chapter in life and wanting to use his project management skills and desire to serve people, he transitioned into the mortgage lending business as a residential loan officer. His commitment to our country and his community resonates in his passion to serve his customers in the homebuying process every day. Supporting the active duty/veteran community is near and dear to his heart, and his experience provides a comfort level in communicating and understanding what they’re going through as families and service members. As a loan officer, Ru provides residential purchase and refinance solutions that make sense for each and every borrower, since everyone’s family and financial situation is unique. He is committed to making the dream of home ownership come true for his customers as long as it makes sense for them! He has stepped up as one of the newest Ambassadors of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce, as he understands the importance of strengthening the local business community network by getting more people involved to make the biggest difference. He is also the Public Image Director of the local Alexandria Rotary Club and serves on the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce Membership Committee. He is married to Sharon Wildberger, a local Alexandria realtor, and they reside in Old Town Alexandria with their dog and cat.
