Blaze Ryder is a local boy born and raised on the eastside of Oahu.  He attended Kamehameha Schools Kapalama and was member of the varsity football team.  His talents on the field and in the classroom landed him a scholarship to play football at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.  The lessons and fundamentals Blaze learned at the Academy have molded him into the individual he is today.  Playing for the midshipmen and wearing the navy blue and gold is still one of the greatest adventures of his life.  Upon graduation from the United States Naval Academy Blaze was commissioned as a surface warfare officer and blessed with the opportunity to serve our country and lead our extraordinary men and women in the service. Blaze served two tours onboard the USS Preble and completed two deployments taking him across the world before his transition back into the civilian world.

What stood out to Blaze about Aligned mortgage is the emphasis placed on educating veterans.  In addition, their presence in the community is a pillar in the company that Blaze was drawn to as it coincided with his own goals and beliefs.  Aligned mortgage provides Blaze with a unique ability to serve both worlds in his life, both the military and his local community.

Blaze grew up in a multi-generational home and understood at an early age that the wealth of Hawaii is in its land.  At this point in Blaze’s life many of his peers are beginning to start their families and build their own futures.  Knowledge is power and Blaze’s goal, like Aligned Mortgage, is to educate individuals young and old, military and civilian.  Whether the individual is a veteran or a civilian, Blaze believes that everyone deserves the chance to own a piece of the beautiful and unique place we are fortunate enough to call our home.
