As a lifelong resident of Erie County with 22 years of experience in the banking industry and specializing in commercial lending for the past 12 years, I am committed to working with the people in the communities where I live and raise my family. I believe the opportunity for our communities to grow and develop is best supported by a bank that brands itself as customer-friendly. I value the relationship built with my customers and I am committed to understanding their business to help them succeed. I am a graduate of the University of Dayton with a Bachelor of Science in Finance. I also graduated from the School of Banking at Colorado and Leadership Erie County, Class of 1996. I earned the Dale Carnegie Certificate of Achievement in 2003. I serve as a member of the Sandusky Rotary Club, Board of Trustees; Treasurer of the Goodwill Industries of Erie, Huron, Ottawa, and Sandusky Counties; Finance Advisory Committee Chair for Sandusky Central Catholic Schools; Sandusky MS Walk, Coordinating Committee; The Bishop Robert Tournament of Champions Committee Member, Plum Brook Country Club; and Sandusky Yacht Club Member.
