Al Gelschus, VP of Sales and Recruiting

Based in Minneapolis, Gelschus brings more than 35 years of experience to Compass Mortgage. He began his career in institutional finance after being drawn to how it can help businesses and consumers. “After that, I followed up the chain all the way to originating mortgages,” Gelschus shared, “and eventually became skilled in credit analysis, retail, and wholesale residential origination and management.” Due to his passion and experience, Al has specialized in mortgage banking, financial services, and portfolio management.

Outside of work, Al enjoys outdoor activities with family and friends, especially winter sports. “The mortgage industry is a rough-and-tumble business, and it’s good to have outlets outside of business.”

Joe Phalen, SVP of Business Development at Compass, added that “at Compass Mortgage, it is all about the people. Al shares and understands the same vision that Dan Graham, our CEO, built this company on 19 years ago. Al is a proven market builder with a great reputation that fits Compass Mortgage’s core values.” Gelschus’ commitment to helping others has influenced how he works in such a difficult industry. “I truly believe in integrity. In this type of business, it’s a complicated world, and people take shortcuts, and that’s not right. People talk about a commitment to excellence, but to see it played out at Compass is invigorating. To value other people and their contributions in our world is a very interesting core value that I strongly support,” Al explained. “I love the culture of Compass. I think that the culture fosters growth and professionalism, and I think Compass has the tools necessary to compete in this environment.”
