A Hampton Roads native, Holland started Atlantic Bay in 1996, three years after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in finance from Old Dominion University. Today, the mortgage lender has served more than 180,000 homeowners across the country, and Atlantic Bay employs more than 800 people at 138 branch offices in 17 states.
Holland maintains close ties to ODU, serving as a member of its board of visitors and a member of the Old Dominion Athletic Foundation’s board of trustees. Additionally, Atlantic Bay has naming rights for the football game day complex at the university’s stadium.
The company also contributes to community organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia, as well as holding an annual week of service while Atlantic Bay employees take time to do service projects.
Holland created the AB Cares program for civic causes, as well as employment wellness initiatives. In 2006, Holland helped found the Virginia chapter of Young Presidents’ Organization, or YPO, a global leadership group of chief executives.
