Jason Bialek

I was born in Washington, DC but grew up in Roanoke, VA. After being graduated from Cave Spring High School in 1995 I completed my undergraduate education from Radford University 1999 and obtained my MBA 2003 from the University of Phoenix. I have always considered myself a dreamer and have always had a drive to do something with my life.

I decided to leave Roanoke for DC when I was 22 and said I would never come back. I knew I was going to be a career man and Roanoke didn’t seem to have what I wanted at the time. I spent almost 5 years in Washington and rarely came back to Roanoke to visit. After living in the city and working as a financial planner at a few different banking institutions, I decided I didn’t want to deal with the rat race, high cost of living, and horrific traffic. I was barely getting by and wasn’t very happy with my situation after a few years. At 27, I came back to what I call home and after some soul searching I started work as a Mortgage Banker with Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group. We are an innovative Mortgage company open to new ideas and it was a perfect fit for me.

The rest is history. All of my struggles and humbling experiences in the city made me stronger. I feel very comfortable in Roanoke and enjoy the way of life here. I have made a dynamic career from scratch in just a few years and I am very thankful for the people of this town who have helped me make that happen. If I wasn’t a professional athlete I would be a mortgage banker so I really can’t complain about anything. Thank You Roanoke! The people of this town are very good people and I appreciate you.
