Executive Council

	Mike Mungenast, Chief Executive Officer and President Mike took the ProEquities reins in 2002 from his previous position as the Chief Operations Officer. Prior to joining ProEquities Mike was a partner and Chief Financial Officer for Dover International, a consultant for broker/dealer organizations.

In addition to his business focus, Mike gives his time to industry organizations, his church, and Birmingham’s Junior Achievement organization. Mike is happily married to Dana. He enjoys coaching his two children, Anna and Joseph, in sporting events. But don’t let Mike’s accounting background fool you; he’s a renowned prankster with a great sense of humor.
	Scott Umstead, Chief Marketing Officer Scott joined ProEquities in November 2008. He is a highly experienced executive with a strong track record, having held senior management positions with large financial institutions including a Registered Investment Advisory firm, Sweetwater Asset Management.

Scott and his wife, Judy, are very active with their five children who reside not only in Alabama, but in Tennessee and California. Take note that Scott played football for Auburn - a notable fact of interest to Mike.
	Taylor Lovell, National Sales Director Taylor joined ProEquities in 2006 to employ his successful pattern of creating, developing, implementing and maintaining sales and marketing systems to attract financial advisors.

Taylor and his wife, Kathy, have been married for 33 years and their pride and joy are daughters Jessica (with PGATour.com) and Ashley (an up and coming golf pro at Birmingham Southern). And, if you are really daring, take Taylor on for a game of B-Ball…but be warned he lettered at Georgia!
