Ishbia: Izzo's lessons helped grow his company

Technically, I was a business management major at Michigan State University, but actually I majored in basketball. In the early 2000s, I played for coach Tom Izzo, one of the elite coaches in basketball. During my four-year career, he guided our team to three Big Ten championships, three NCAA Final Four appearances, and an NCAA national championship--a truly amazing run.

Turkey bacon, two eggs, coffee. Sure real bacon tastes so much better, but turkey bacon is better for you.

Mat Ishbia is running out of space — again.

Amid a rapid expansion of his Pontiac-based mortgage company United Shore Financial Services LLC, he has put a massive building under contract across the street across from his current headquarters that would more than double its real estate footprint in the Oakland County seat if the deal gets finalized.

The goal, he says, is to keep the company — which just a year ago moved into its new building — from not having enough space as he projects growing to about 7,000 employees by 2025, up from the 4,100 he has today in 610,000 square feet at 585 South Blvd.

"The issue is, where do I fit everybody," he said.
