Civista Commercial Lending Team

With more than 21 years in the banking industry, I focus on building strong relationships and helping businesses achieve their financial goals. I am passionate about supporting customers’ long-term success through thoughtful financial guidance and personalized service. My approach to banking is guided by three core values—trust, accountability, and effort—which shape every client interaction and reinforce my commitment to delivering a high-quality customer experience. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and a Master of Political Administration from Ohio University, as well as a Master of Business Administration from Cleveland State University. A lifelong resident of the Cleveland area, I currently live in Brecksville, Ohio, with my wife and two children. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family—raising our energetic twins keeps us happily busy and engaged in the community.

With more than 11 years in the banking industry, I enjoy supporting small to midsized businesses through growth, acquisitions, and day to day financial needs. I pride myself on building long term relationships and being a trusted resource during pivotal moments in a client’s business journey. I partner with business owners to understand their goals and deliver tailored lending and treasury solutions that support both short term needs and long-term growth. Clients can expect responsiveness, transparency, and proactive communication from me, whether they’re celebrating a milestone or navigating a challenge. A graduate of The Ohio State University and a proud Worthington resident, I remain active in the community through my involvement with the Worthington Chamber of Commerce, the Central Ohio African American Chamber of Commerce, and the Columbus Urban League. Outside of work, I’m an active, fun loving dad who enjoys spending time supporting my son and nephews in their many activities.

With over 11 years of experience in the banking industry, I am committed to promoting community growth by supporting businesses and serving their commercial banking needs. I graduated with a bachelor's degree from Miami University and currently serve as a board member and Treasurer for The Worthington Partnership. I am a member of the Dublin-Worthington Rotary Group and currently reside in Hilliard, Ohio with my wife and son. I am a self-proclaimed foodie, sports enthusiast, and avid golfer.

With over 20 years of experience in the banking industry, I am focused on building long-term relationships with clients, while providing prompt customer service. Throughout my career I have gained expertise in commercial real estate lending, as well as commercial and industrial business lending and look forward to using that knowledge to support my clients and their business goals.

With over seven years in the banking industry, I enjoy building lasting relationships with local business owners, helping them find the financial solutions they need to operate and grow successfully. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Business Management and Finance from the University of Findlay. Communication and transparency are at the heart of how I work—I believe my clients deserve clear guidance and open conversation at every step of the lending process. Staying organized and focused helps me deliver on my commitments and ensure each customer’s goals are met. Outside of work, I’m active in the community as a volunteer firefighter for two Defiance County township departments and as a member of St. John Lutheran Church. I’ve also volunteered with the Defiance Dream Center and United Way of Defiance County. My wife, Chelsea, and I live just outside the Village of Evansport with our three children, where I proudly wear the title of husband, dad, and part-time “Uber driver” for the kids.

With more than 40 years of experience in the banking industry, I work closely with businesses seeking financing solutions, combining my deep financial expertise with a practical understanding of local business needs. A graduate of The Ohio State University and holder of an MBA from Bowling Green State University, I bring both academic and real-world insight to my clients. I am dedicated to providing transparent, honest, and reliable lending guidance to help businesses reach their goals. Guided by strong personal values—doing what’s right even when it’s difficult, maintaining truth and transparency, and treating others with respect—I strive to build lasting relationships based on trust and accountability.
