Steve Wilson

Steve was born along the Gulf Coast, just a stone’s throw from where the Gulf, Texas, and Louisiana all meet. After growing up an Army brat traveling through much of the US and Europe, he settled in a tiny farm town on the banks of the Mississippi for high school. He later studied on full scholarship to Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, half-way between St. Louis and Chicago. He graduated with honors in Finance and a minor in Economics.

He spent his early years in Finance as a Commercial Real Estate Banker in Chicagoland focusing on Home Builders, Developers, Land Speculators, and even working with people building their own homes. Later he would work for a small tech firm that helped banks go paperless after relocating back to Texas. In 2012, he got into the Mortgage world and learned how to deal with the stress and complications of the industry while also learning how to be a full-time dad. In 2017 when Hurricanes Harvey Irma, and Maria devastated Houston, Puerto Rico and much of the Gulf back to back to back, he volunteered to help with the Small Business Administration’s Office of Disaster Assistance. Within a year he was made a member of their Core Staff, and spent the following years helping thousands of Disaster victims rebuild their homes, businesses, and communities.

After 20 years experience on the other side of the desk, he formed The Barefoot Mortgage Group to simply do it better. He’s been in your shoes…and he built a company to give you the advantage when competing for a loan.

He is still an avid traveler, father, & history buff.
