Since February 2025.

What is your most rewarding experience with CRB?
The employees. The employees make a great organization. Many on CRB’s staff are considered long term employees who have been with the organization for over 10 years.

What advice would you give to someone thinking about a career in banking?
It is good to learn as much as you can about how a bank operates, from working as a teller to a banker to a lender and all of the positions in between. Not only are all of the positions important to how a bank operates, but each position involves interacting with the various bank customers and employees. Good customer service is key to a well-run banking organization.

Landscaper was my first job, but my first job in the banking industry was a teller/banker.

If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would it be?
Italy. I went there in college for a study abroad semester and would like to go back.
