In that position he retained responsibility for the firm he had co-founded and assumed responsibility for growing AMRESCO Capital’s securitization business and private label lending business. He led AMRESCO Capital into multifamily lending programs for both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In addition, he assumed responsibility to reorganize and grow AMRESCO Services, the firm’s loan servicing subsidiary. Mr. Holliday also oversaw AMRESCO Research. All of those businesses were sold to Lend Lease in early 2000 and later that year Mr. Holliday joined several of his colleagues and partners at Live Oak Capital.

Mr. Holliday graduated in 1970 with a B.A. from Memphis State University, Cum Laude. He is a past member of the Commercial Board of Governors of the Mortgage Bankers Association where he served as Chairman of the Capital Markets Committee and Vice Chairman of the International Committee and the Legislative Committee.
