Chris S. Youmans
PresidentI joined the United Capital team in 2000. I’m
glad you are on our website. If you’re a client, thanks for your
trust; if you are a prospective client, I hope you give us a
chance.
While not working, my wife Kristine and I are busy raising
our four children. It’s always something, but time well spent.
Family events include all types of water sports, golf,
volleyball, soccer and basketball; with some good meals mixed
in. I was born in Dallas but my folks moved back to the Tampa
Bay area when I was two. Florida has been home ever since, as I
went to college at the University of South Florida in Tampa. We
would welcome the opportunity to serve you. |

Ivan T. Baker
CFO, Managing PartnerI founded United Capital with Jerry
Curley in 1997. It has been a very rewarding experience, as I
feel like we have helped a lot of businesses take their
organizations to the next level.
I am primarily responsible for the finance, underwriting and
IT functions for the firm, but spend some time on business
developments as well.
I got married in 2011 to my lovely wife, Terri. I have a
fabulous daughter, Addison and a very young Golden Retriever
named Bo. |

Mark S. Mandula
CMO, Managing PartnerI have been part of the great United
Capital team since 2000. I am primarily responsible for
marketing the professional services of our firm, and other
business development efforts. I am honored to be able to serve
our amazing clients and help them profitably grow.
I am originally from Ohio, but have been a Floridian since
1994. My wife Kathy and I have 3 children currently in college.
Add to this a new Golden Retriever puppy, and I am sure you can
see that there is never a dull moment in our house. |

Barb Coakley
Senior Staff Accountant
I have been the “bean counter” at United Capital Funding since
2002; officially the title on my business card is Senior Staff
Accountant. I have been promised this is not related to my age,
but since I am the only one, I’m not so sure.
I earned my BS in Accounting from the University of South
Florida in 2006, working and attending classes at night. I enjoy
working here and our corporate culture can’t be beat. I fully
intend to remain working here until and possibly past retirement
age. |

years.

Peggy Dlugozima
Marketing
I work in the Marketing Department and have since I joined the
company in 2004. My job duties are varied and that is what keeps
the job interesting. The best part of my job is speaking to all
of the people that call us seeking information about our
company. Over the last 8 years we have signed up hundreds of
clients and I think that I have spoken to every one of them. All
of the stories are different, but the needs are the same.
I have been married to my husband for 30 years and we have three
boys, ages 28, 26 and 13. The youngest one still lives at home
and I am not sure I am ready to have a teenager again. |

region. I have 40 years experience in marketing, banking and
most recently factoring sales director for the Great Lakes
region. I have been married to my wife, Paula, for 31
years. We have three grown children and one grandchild. Two
chocolate labs, Bailey and Gunner, share our home. When not
spending time with my family and dogs I enjoy playing golf,
motorcycling and traveling. |

Donata Koveriene
Senior Credit Analyst / UnderwriterI started working at United Capital in 2001, and I’m lucky to work
for a company with such strong integrity and respect for its
people. Working with our friendly team is a true pleasure.
Among other duties, my contribution at United is primarily
underwriting and credit analysis. It is exciting to sign up so
many new clients, various businesses that represent the whole
spectrum of our economy. It is exciting to see those businesses
grow with us and contribute to the growth of the US economy. |
