“It’s rewarding for me to see the operations and families of my customers grow.”
With 25 years of banking experience, an ag economics degree from NDSU, and having attended the SDBA National School for Ag Lenders, I find it rewarding to use my knowledge to help farmers and ranchers prosper.
A couple of my strengths as a banker include talking with producers about growth opportunities and crunching numbers to see how they can be more profitable.
It was in 2017 that I joined FNB, after a couple of the guys here told me this was an awesome bank to work for with a lot of family values. Even after nearly 10 years at the Bank, my favorite FIRST Value is still Family.
It feels good to be treated like a member of the Bank family, and I appreciate how our organization allows you to take time to be with your loved ones.
My son Tyler lives in Australia, and my son Derek works as a diesel tech here in Sioux Falls. Those boys are my greatest accomplishment, and I enjoy spending time with them.
Other hobbies of mine include bowling, golfing, fishing, hunting, playing cards, and any activity with my yellow lab, Snowy. I also volunteer with The Banquet and the Sioux Empire Livestock Show.
I’d be happy to talk sports with you, especially the Bison, Twins, and Vikings. I also have some great recommendations if you’re ever thinking about planning a trip to Australia!
