LINTHICUM, MD, December 1, 2016— NFM Lending is pleased to honor Master Sergeant Joseph Bluver, Ret. as the NFM Salute for December 2016

Joseph joined the Illinois Air National Guard in 1984 at the age of 17. After graduating in 1985, he left for Lakeland Air Force Base (AFB) in San Antonio. While attending technical school training at Lowry AFB in Denver, he studied Air Force food service. During his first assignment with the 126^th Air Refueling Wing Services Flight, he began his career as an apprentice Cook, advancing quickly through the ranks to hold positions such as Senior Cook, Supervisor, and Food Production Manager.

In 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, Bluver was put on active duty, and stationed at Grissom Air Force Base in Indiana. He left the Illinois National Guard after 16 years and joined the Air Force Reserves. In 2000, he transferred to the Air Force Reserves 440^th Services Flight in Milwaukee. In 2003, during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Bluver was once again placed on active duty. He was stationed in North Dakota at Grand Forks Air Force Base attached to the 319^th Services Squadron, where he was the assigned Safety and Training Manager in areas such as lodging, base gym, and the dining hall. Bluver retired from the Air Force Reserves in 2004 after more than 20 years of service. Bluver was nominated by his wife, Terri Landey-Bluver whom he married in 1999. They live with their two sons in Lake in the Hills, Illinois.

“There isn’t anything Joe wouldn’t do for you,” said Landey-Bluver. “He would give you the shirt off his back if you asked him for it. He was always there for his servicemen. He would always go beyond on his duties. He was always the first to volunteer to go on a deployment, whether it was stateside or overseas. It was hard once we had children, but he was up for the challenge and continued his service for several years once we had kids. Joe is very committed to everything he does, and does it very well.”

LINTHICUM, MD, November 1, 2016— NFM Lending is pleased to honor Edward Strine as the NFM Salute for November 2016

Strine served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-1946, and spent much of his time in the military in the keel of a ship serving in the engine and fire rooms as a Fireman First Class. One of the carriers he served on during WWII was the USS Aaron Ward. On May 3, 1945, the Aaron Ward was attacked by Kamikaze airplanes, leaving Strine on the deck severely burned and dying. While one of his friends was loading up the soldiers who had not survived the attack into body bags to be thrown overboard, he noticed that Strine was still breathing and got him medical help, saving his life. Strine is featured in a book about the attack, and recently hosted a Navy Pilot who has been trying to meet the 13 remaining survivors of the 360 men aboard the USS Aaron Ward.

LINTHICUM, Md. Oct. 12, 2016— NFM Lending is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the third annual St. Jude Against All Odds celebrity poker tournament at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5 at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The event benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital^®, which is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. In fact, treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened in 1962.

“It’s an honor for NFM to support this event,” said David Silverman, CEO of NFM Lending. “It’s one of the most professionally done charity events you could ever attend, and when you combine it with one of the finest organizations in the country, why wouldn’t you want to be involved? Event chair Daniel Negreanu does such an amazing job recruiting top talent and inspiring community support with his team of volunteers, so I am confident we will break last year’s previous fundraising efforts to help find cures and save children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.”

NFM Lending supports many local charities and nonprofits through sponsorship and volunteer work. These include Ronald McDonald House of Baltimore, the Maryland SPCA, the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, and the American Diabetes Association, to name a few.

LINTHICUM, MD, October 1, 2016— NFM Lending is pleased to honor Corvin Arterburn, Jr. as the NFM Salute for October 2016.

Arterburn and his friends joined the Navy to help with efforts during WWII in September 1944, while they were still in high school.

Bragg, North Carolina, with the 18th Airborne Corp. as a Master Sergeant and an Army-trained stenographer. In 1951, he married his wife, Greta, with whom he had three children.

After he was discharged from the Army, Arterburn returned to college and graduated from the University of Louisville in 1957 with a degree in business, while raising a family and attending night classes after work. He entered the tech world early as a senior systems analyst and stayed in the field of early computers until he retired. Arterburn passed away in 1996.

LINTHICUM, MD, September 2, 2016— NFM Lending is pleased to honor Shad Lorenz as the NFM Salute for September 2016.

Shad is a 12 year United States Army Veteran with two combat deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. During his 12 years of service, he has conducted extensive military training both physically and mentally challenging. After September 11th , Shad enlisted in the United States Army. Enlisting in the Infantry was a big step towards his interest in fitness. Outside of the Military, Shad was introduced to weightlifting through friends, who would lift weights after work and on weekends. It started out as a hobby, but began to evolve the more he looked into the sport of weightlifting. Lorenz and his wife eventually would open CrossFit Germantown Performance, a gym in Germantown, MD.

“I joined the Army on September 11, 2001 because of the attack on our soil,” said Lorenz. “I wanted to serve and do my part for my country. After spending 12 years in active duty and serving with some of the finest soldiers I have had the privilege to meet, serving my country with the people I have and supporting this country is the greatest honor I have ever been a part of.”

“Shad is a wonderful, loving and extremely giving person,” said Piantone. “He loves to train people in physical fitness to help them be the best version of themselves possible. He is a selfless bleeding heart who would give you the shirt off his back while he’s fiercely protecting his family and community from enemies and dangers.”

“When you hear that 60,000 homes were damaged, 13 people to this point have lost their lives, and that this is the worst natural disaster since Hurricane Sandy, it makes you pause and understand what really is important in life,” said Jan Ozga, President. “It makes you quickly realize how overwhelmingly powerful Mother Nature can be, and how something like this could happen to anyone at any time. We couldn’t sit back and do nothing. Hopefully our small donation helps somebody impacted by the flooding. We hope and pray that Louisiana recovers quickly!”

“As a branch manager in Louisiana, even though my immediate area of New Orleans was not affected by flooding, I felt like we needed to do something to help,” said Cook. “I have friends and past clients who were affected, and while working with locals to get specific needs filled for families, I wanted to also help out financially on a larger scale than I can do alone. I reached out to the NFM corporate office on the business day following the floods and immediately received a positive response. I am proud to work for a company that sees a need and acts accordingly, and am really looking forward to helping United Way of Southeast Louisiana with their efforts.”

“Mother Nature has once again shown us she is in charge,” said Michael Williamson, President and CEO of United Way of Southeast Louisiana. “Just several months ago our region was flooded, and now they are hurting again. Families who are still trying to rebuild are now at risk. Our residents are resilient, but they need help. We thank NFM Lending for the generous donation. While working on immediate flood relief efforts, United Way will be continuously investing resources in long-term recovery. It takes time and money, but pulling together we can rebuild lives and communities.”

In addition to this contribution, NFM Lending is collecting individual monetary donations and donations of cleaning supplies from its employees throughout the country.
