Wojcik is a graduate of Wheeling Park High School and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He worked for two years at Capital Mortgage with Roberts as a loan originator. With strong family ties to the Wheeling community and the Ohio Valley, Wojcik said he is excited to combine his passion for sales and service with Unified’s mortgage lending program and looks forward to representing Unified throughout the markets it serves.

He and his wife live in the St. Clairsville area with their 15-month-old son.
