Robert Hutsell

Mortgage Loan Originator

Here is a little history about me: When I’m not attentively servicing Trident customers, I’m spending time with my lovely wife, Dallas, and our three rambunctious children. My quiet hours are usually spent in cockpits piloting either a Boeing 757 somewhere around the country, or as an instructor pilot in the Air Force training the next generation of elite pilots for Uncle Sam. I grew up in a small South Texas town and immediately left for the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO after high school in 2001. After graduating from the Academy, I attended USAF pilot training. I have flown over 5,000 hours to include 1,100 combat hours in the USAF. While becoming a pilot didn’t explicitly prepare me to be a loan officer, moving my family around often did help me understand how important it is to have a trusted loan officer to work with when purchasing a home.
