“Top Gun” Ignacio Sanchez, CLP Biography

I grew up in Southern California and attended both San Diego State

University and California State University, Fullerton.

I started working for Balboa Funding Group in Jan 1990 right after I

graduated from California State University, Fullerton where I graduated with

a BA degree in Business Administration with my emphasis in finance. I

started out as a Junior Account Executive where I was taught leasing by Jim

Raeder, Shawn Giffin And Mark McQuity, I became an account executive in June

1990. In Jan 1993 I became the Sales Manager for the Irvine office and

served as sales manager for almost 4 years.  As sales manager was in charge

of all Irvine sales operations and at times funding, credit and training of

new sales reps. Even with  all my responsibilities I continued to sell and

was in the top 3 in sales for Balboa Capital every year.  In 1995 I became a

CLP. In 1997 I stepped down as Sales Manager and went back to selling and

training Jr. account executives. I continued selling there until I quit in

1998 because there was no chance of ownership.

I received a base salary, car allowance plus 30% of all profit on both the

front and back end of my transactions.

In 1998 I started TriStar Capital, LLC with my brother Mike Sanchez who was

with Balboa for 5 years and Banc One leasing for 1 year and Robert Hendrix

who was the National Sales Manager at Balboa Capital. I continue to sell and

run the company with my partners. In the 4 years we have been in business we

have grown rapidly and funded about 20mm in equipment cost in 2001.  We hope

to grow by at least 25% this year.
