ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

Jon D. Maddux

Jon D Maddux was the CEO of YouWalkAway.com from 11/2007 until 11/2012. With over 11 years of real estate and finance experience, Maddux realized with the growing credit crisis, many homeowners with adjustable rate mortgages and high LTV loans were unaware of what they were about to face. With that understanding and entrepreneurial drive, Maddux founded YouWalkAway.com by developing an affordable business model that allows homeowners to know their rights, understand foreclosure consequences, and use the law to their advantage.

Maddux has been quoted and interviewed in news publications such as: CNN Money, Yahoo Finance, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg, Business Week, Forbes, Fortune, NPR, AP, and USA Today among many others.

Chad R. Ruyle

YouWalkAway.com Principal and Co-Founder, Chad R. Ruyle has been interviewed by journalists for CBS 60 Minutes, ABC Nightline, The Today Show on NBC, Dylan Ratigan and NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams to name a few. Ruyle is also a partner at the Law Firm of Ruyle& Ruyle in San Diego and has incorporated his extensive legal background into YouWalkAway.com. He sees mortgage defaulting as a business transaction not an emotional decision. Mortgage contracts are written with addressing potential foreclosures – clearly stating if the borrower ceases to make payments, the bank will take the house back.

Ruyle focuses his practice on all areas of trusts and estates, business planning, and real estate transactions.

YouWalkAway.com is committed to helping homeowners through foreclosure as well as after foreclosure or a short sale.
