Brian Na’s business has an unusually revealing address book. There are mortgage brokers looking for somewhere to send a loan, capital partners looking for somewhere to put money, and colleagues responsible for making the arrangements work. Beyond the office, there are donors putting their names behind a community center in Los Angeles. Taken together, these connections offer a useful way into the career of Mega Capital Funding’s founder and CEO. Finance supplies the numbers. The relationships explain who has to pick up the telephone.
Na founded Mega in 1998. The company now serves brokers and correspondents across the United States, offering mortgage programs through a business built around third-party originators. His public announcements tend toward the practical: a product offering, a senior appointment, another way for brokers to reach the lender. There is plenty of machinery behind such announcements. A mortgage may end with a signature, but it takes a considerable cast to get the pen onto the table.
The work before the title
His public résumé begins in September 1986, with a branch manager position at Progressive Saving Bank. Recruiting and training loan agents were part of the job. So were introducing products to loan officers and processors and reviewing packages before processing. It is an introduction to lending at the level where instructions have to make sense to the next person handling the file.
Regional management at ASL Mortgage Banker followed on the résumé, alongside a later presidency at Hi-Tech Financial Services. Those listed dates overlap. The responsibilities range from developing broker relationships to supervising production and processing. At Hi-Tech, Na credits his work with bringing annual loan production close to $100 million. Pricing, marketing, accounting and personnel all appear in the account. The executive title came with a fairly crowded desk.
Mega’s founding in February 1998 gave that experience a company of his own. Twenty years later, his education record includes UCLA Anderson School of Management, dated 2018. His profile photograph places him before an Anderson backdrop, smiling in glasses and a jacket. The résumé also lists the University of California, Irvine. These California institutions sit beside a career whose professional profiles place him in Calabasas.

A return with a narrower brief
In February 2021, Mega returned to non-QM lending with Na, Rikki Danganan and Will Fisher leading the offering. The product list included bank-statement options, profit-and-loss documentation and asset utilization. Investment-property programs included debt-service-coverage approaches. The common thread was a wider range of ways to document a financing case. For brokers, the product menu offered additional routes through a conversation that can otherwise end rather quickly.
Na described a specific segment of the market and paired two aims: giving brokers more solutions and helping capital partners meet their yield objectives. That pairing is central to the job. A lender has to offer something useful to the originator while also arranging a proposition that capital will support. Good intentions do not substitute for either side. In mortgage banking, the paperwork has a formidable talent for bringing a discussion back to earth.
The relaunch is a concrete episode in Na’s career because it shows him working with named specialists around a defined set of products. It also gives the company’s subsequent developments some continuity. The question of how a broker accesses a program would become increasingly visible in Mega’s technology announcements.
“Your feedback is invaluable.”
Brian Na, sharing the MVIP service announcement
A portal still needs people
In 2024, Na’s LinkedIn activity included an announcement of MVIP Non-QM service, with an April 1 launch date. The message invited feedback from partners. That invitation belongs naturally in a wholesale business: the broker is using the lender’s service while also answering to a client. An awkward process can therefore have more than one audience. Improving it means listening to people who encounter the awkward parts.
Another April post welcomed Kathy Herig as Chief of Compliance. Na highlighted her more than 30 years in the mortgage industry and experience in credit, compliance and executive risk management. A product launch is easy to picture as a growth story. A compliance appointment puts another necessary person in the frame. The business needs people who understand the rules and how those rules meet daily decisions.
The public team photograph from December 2024 supplies a less formal setting. Sales and management colleagues gather around a restaurant table, with plates, glasses and holiday decorations competing for space. Kevin Moreen shared the picture and tagged Na among the participants; Na replied, “Love this.” It is a small exchange, pleasantly free of a product matrix. Even a mortgage company occasionally gets to discuss dinner.
By July 2025, access was the subject of another announcement. Mega joined ARIVE’s lender marketplace, bringing its programs into the loan-origination platform. The lineup covered Non-QM, Jumbo, Government, Conventional and second mortgages. Brokers could encounter products, see pricing and move toward submitting a loan within the platform. Those are practical stages of a working day, rather than abstract promises about technology.
Na described reaching more brokers and non-delegated lenders. Mega’s national sales manager, Ed Darrow, identified the company as a TPO-only lender and framed ARIVE as a way to give its programs greater visibility. The integration also sat alongside Mega’s own MGenius portal. Distribution and internal tools were being presented together, with the broker’s workflow as their shared point of contact.
A process diagram, not a promise of approval.
For a founder whose earlier duties included training staff and building broker relationships, the progression is easy to follow. The relationship now has another point of entry. A platform can put a product within reach; the company still has to handle the business that arrives. Mega’s website continues that operational emphasis with a loan portal, scenario submissions, a bank-statement calculator and guideline assistance. Each tool addresses a particular task. Their value belongs in the doing.
Na also appears on the customer side of a business relationship. In a testimonial for Millennium Pension Services, he praises the provider’s speed and efficiency after four years of working together. It is a modest detail, but a useful one: the mortgage executive is also someone evaluating another firm’s service. The vocabulary is familiar from the lending business, where a process can be judged by how readily people receive an answer and how smoothly work gets done.
Mega now describes a footprint of more than 40 states. The holiday table holds only part of the organization, while the lender’s work reaches brokers and correspondents well beyond California. That difference in scale gives the photograph its charm: a national operation, briefly gathered over a meal.
A different kind of commitment
In December 2025, Na appeared in another list of names, this time connected to the Koreatown Senior & Community Center. He was named among 21 donors or organizations pledging $100,000 each toward a collective $2.1 million commitment. The event took place in the center’s second-floor auditorium, with roughly 150 attendees. Community members offered performances in thanks. The setting placed the businessman among supporters of a local institution’s longer-term development.
A pledge describes a commitment; it should keep that meaning. The individual amount and the group total also deserve their separate places. Together, they show how a national business career can have a local chapter. Names associated with banking, clothing, logistics and other enterprises appeared on the donor list. At the center, their shared subject was the institution they were supporting.
Na had also been named among attendees in coverage of the center’s earlier fundraising effort. The later commitment adds a specific figure to that community connection. It puts another destination beside the broker’s office and the lending platform: a neighborhood gathering place whose future depends, in part, on people agreeing to support it.
An address in the next chapter
A May 2026 property transaction adds a physical building to the recent record. Na, identified with Mega Capital Funding, was listed as buyer of a 34,000-square-foot office property at 26775 Malibu Hills Road in Calabasas. The reported price was $6.3 million, with a May 20 closing. The seller was identified with Lithia Motors. It is a specific transaction in the same city that appears on Na’s professional profiles.
The purchase belongs alongside the other documented actions: founding a lender, assembling products with colleagues, appointing an experienced compliance executive, expanding access through a platform and joining a community pledge. Each involves an arrangement that has to work beyond the announcement. That is where Na’s career is most legible. A title fits on one line. The business behind it keeps several people occupied, and sometimes brings them together around a rather full dinner table.
