“When Jon Park gave me the opportunity in 2000 to start a new bank and take on an entrepreneurial venture, I was thrilled to take on the challenge. It's been a great experience because I've been able to work with so many wonderful clients. For me, the highlight continues to be watching the bank grow while we help our clients succeed.”
