Hartshorne joined Supreme Lending as a trader in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic and historically low interest rate market.

He successfully trained and mentored junior trading desk staff, quickly transforming inexperienced candidates into productive, high-functioning members of the trading desk team. Mitch’s demonstrated leadership led to several promotions at Supreme Lending within a few short years. 

Hartshorne is responsible for pricing, hedging, loan sales and all reporting associated with these activities. Mitch actively manages Supreme Lending’s hedging and trade operations, having handled up to a $1 billion to$3 billion pipeline and committed billions in loan volume to dozens of investors with a complex proprietary best execution model.
