Jim Phares
Vice President, Commercial Lender
With over 30 years of experience in the banking industry and over 25 years working with businesses, I am dedicated to helping businesses of all sizes reach their financial goals. I earned a BA in Business Administration from Grove City College and am active in my community. I volunteer as a Bowling Green Rotarian, serve on the Habitat for Humanity Homeowner Selection Committee, and a board member for the Downtown Bowling Green Special Improvement District and the Bowling Green Chamber Foundation. I currently reside in Weston, Ohio with my wife. Outside of work, my family and I enjoy the great outdoors, including hiking, fishing, and hunting.
