Since relocating from Wisconsin in 1997, Brian has lived and worked in St. Petersburg, Florida. For the last 25 years, his career has included a wide array of experiences within the financial services industry, including business and retail banking, insurance, and securities investments. While lending has become his passion, Brian’s diverse financial background enables him to think outside the box for solutions tailored to each member. He realizes that building a mutually beneficial relationship does not always mean making a sale.

Brian is a graduate of the Florida School of Banking and has volunteered with The Salvation Army, Resurrection House and United Way teaching financial literacy. He is a past president of the Sunshine City Jaycees, which happens to be where he met his wife. In his free time, Brian enjoys traveling and spending time with his wife and son. They especially like cruising and theme parks.

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.
