Their impact extends beyond financial success, as they've played a vital role in helping nearly 1 million families achieve the dream of homeownership. In recognition of his remarkable achievements and dedication to philanthropy, Stearns was inducted into The Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans in 2011.
