Background
James P. Sherrill is a long-tenured mortgage-finance executive based in Denver, Colorado. He joined the MountainView organization in 1994 through its predecessor, Matrix Bancorp, where he was active in sales and led whole-loan and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) trading for the bank and its holding company. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance and Banking from the University of Missouri.
At MountainView, Sherrill became Portfolio Manager and Managing Director, leading portfolio-management activities for the MountainView Mortgage Opportunities Funds — vehicles that invest in residential whole loans and have been described as carrying approximately $170 million of investable capital. In that role he is responsible for all aspects of residential whole-loan acquisition and disposition, credit management, servicing oversight, and supervision of the firm's whole-loan trading and analytics team. He also serves as Chief Investment Officer of MountainView Management Company and has run the residential whole-loan trading desk for MountainView Capital Group.
MountainView Capital Holdings, LLC (incorporated 2007, Denver) provides mortgage-related analytic, trading, hedge-advisory and asset-management services to institutional participants in the secondary mortgage market. Sherrill's work sits on the investment side of that business — sourcing, pricing, and managing pools of residential mortgage credit on behalf of the firm's funds.
> Note: The known, verifiable James P. Sherrill associated with the mvcg.com domain is a fixed-income mortgage portfolio manager. The "Seed Round" investment-stage detail in the source stub does not match this individual's documented career and has been left unverified rather than expanded into a venture-capital thesis.
