Prior to his banking career, Mr. Eggleton was a State Representative for both The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press in Lansing, and Grand Rapids, Michigan under the newspapers Joint Operating Agreement. He then decided to utilize his business degree to switch his career into finance, seeing that national newspapers were beginning to decline in ad revenue and circulation numbers each year in the late 1990s, as the newspapers managers blamed expanding cable TV and the internet for siphoning ad revenues and thereby NOI, and youth trending toward the new technology.

Mr. Eggleton became the sole shareholder of American Medical Capital (AMC) in 2017. Over 30 years ago, AMC was initially involved in hospital construction by issuing bonds backed by a Direct Pay Letter of Credit (DPLC) with the bond ratings tied to the credit rating of the DPLC bank, also known as Variable Rate Demand Notes. Over the years, AMC has arranged financing for all kinds of commercial real estate: Industrial, mixed-use, hospitality, home subdivisions, condominiums, and retail. In 2017, Mr. Eggleton moved the office from Bethesda, Maryland to Grand Rapids, Michigan. AMC also finances Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCs) for Family Offices to help them maximize their investments without liquidating their portfolios and helps general contractors to improve cash flow: www.AmericanMedicalCapital.com
