Although he grew up in Sarasota, Brian Kopakin always considered Tampa his second home. His family would make the quick drive over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge most weekends to visit his grandparents and extended family, and he remembers spending summers around his uncle’s auto repair shop in downtown Tampa. Now Brian lives in South Tampa with his wife and daughter. When the weekend rolls around and the weather is nice, you may spot them at Armature Works or walking on Bayshore Boulevard.

The majority of Brian’s career has been in the financial services industry, but he took a brief detour from banking to work with a small commodity broker. His experience during that time was invaluable as he saw firsthand and understood the challenges business owners face on a daily basis. With more than a decade of experience in financial services including five years in commercial lending, Brian is prepared to serve our area as a commercial loan officer.

Like you, our business bankers live and work in the communities they serve. We’re a local lender, we make our decisions locally, and we specialize in growing locally sourced businesses.

Let’s get together, and let’s get growing! Contact Brian by phone or email today.
