John Solich

Vice President, Commercial Lender

I have spent the past 27 years in the banking industry, focusing on helping company owners, developers, and investors achieve their commercial real estate, operations, and growth goals. I am committed to earning my customers’ trust through strong communication, attention to detail, and a consistent focus on doing what is right and fair—delivering thoughtful, reliable solutions they can depend on. My values of honesty, loyalty, fairness, and integrity continue to guide both my personal and professional life.

I earned my MBA from Lake Erie College and have remained deeply connected to the Cleveland community throughout my career. Over the past 27 years, I have served on the boards of several organizations, including Geauga Growth Partnership and Mentor Rotary, where I served as Past President in 2014. I am also an alumnus of Lake County Leadership and Geauga County Leadership.

Outside of work, I previously spent many years playing old-timers hockey and coaching youth hockey in Mentor. Today, I enjoy hiking, travel, skiing, and side-by-side 4x4 adventures. I have 2 grown daughters and live with my wife on the Westside of Cleveland.
