He's also progressed in each position he has held at our Bank, and is always very eager to take on additional responsibilities and to grow professionally. He knows and understands credit underwriting at a high level, and balances that expertise with a strong desire to know and understand each customer's financial needs. One of his greatest strengths is building relationships with his customers because he follows up and steps up when a customer needs a financial partner. Through his in-depth knowledge in the financial industry, he adds value to each customer relationship and knows how to get the job done,” Neil added.
