Vincent Kasperick, who created AimLoan.com, an Internet-based mortgage company, will be honored by the University of San Diego on April 30. Kasperick, who received his bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of San Diego School of Business in 1984, will receive the Author E. Hughes Award for Career Achievement.
In 1998, Kasperick founded AimLoan, with the goal of using technology to deliver transparency, savings and convenience to its customers.  Over the past 18 years, AimLoan has expanded throughout the country and is regularly ranked one of the top five direct-to-consumer independent mortgage companies in the nation.
He strongly believes in the idea of social and corporate responsibility, and his firm has conducted 52 community service campaigns, raising more than $1.5 million for worthy nonprofits.  In 2010, AimLoan founded the San Diego Blues Festival, an annual hunger-awareness event benefiting the San Diego Food Bank.
Kasperick served on the board of Father Joe’s Villages for many years and was named interim CEO when Father Joe Carroll retired in 2011. Kasperick also serves on the advisory board of USD’s Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate.
“Vincent has been a changemaker in the digital economy and exemplifies the business school’s commitment to innovation and public service,” said University of San Diego School of Business Dean Jaime Alonso Gómez. “We are very proud to honor him.”
Kasperick and his wife, Candace, a nurse for the San Diego Unified School District, share a passion for service and philanthropy, particularly issues concerning at-risk children and youth. They are residents of Ocean Beach and attend Sacred Heart Parish.
