Business Banking Experts

I was born and raised on a farm here in Yakima Valley. With over 30 years in agricultural lending in Eastern Washington, I have a good understanding of farmer's needs and the challenges they face. Central Valley Bank is a strong, local bank with a commitment to care for the needs of our customers. If you have a need for an operating line of credit or term financing, I'd appreciate meeting with you in-person to discuss your plans.

Community banking has been the heart and soul of my banking career and I truly have enjoyed each and every minute of it. My lending career has taken me from the orchards of Chelan to the row crops of the Tri Cities and now back to the Yakima Valley. I couldn't have asked for any better experience. I believe that banking is not about transactions but about the relationships that are built and I look forward to building many in the years to come, so please be sure to stop by and see me.

I am committed to giving personal service by building long-term banking relationships. The past 18 years with Central Valley Bank I have seen positive growth with our institution and I am excited to be a part of a community bank committed to continuously improving the quality of service for our customers.

My banking career started in 1985 in a rural farming and ranching community in Southeastern Montana, where I was raised. I found my niche in commercial lending, and truly savor being part of a business's growth and success, restructuring a struggling business, or helping a person's dream of owning their own business come true. "Large enough to serve, small enough to care", embodies the spirit of relationship between business owners and their bankers. Call or stop by, I would take pleasure in visiting with you about your business or agricultural banking needs.

I have been in banking in Yakima for the past 33 years, the last 5 years with Central Valley Bank. Almost all of these years I have worked for local community banks, where decisions are made locally and your money stays here in our Valley. I have worked with many of my customers over 30 years, helping them grow their businesses, farms and families. In some cases I am now assisting their children and grandchildren. Over the years, many of my customers have come to me as referrals from existing customers looking for a local banker who knows our Valley and with whom they can visit face-to-face. If you or someone you know who would like to talk about a business or agricultural loan, please give me a call or drop by for a visit.

I take pride in being part of the Central Valley Bank team, where the focus is on the needs of our local families, businesses and farmers. Providing friendly, professional customer service is important to me and working for a community bank allows me the freedom to spend time with my customers, understanding their specific needs and working with them throughout the entire lending process. Helping people achieve their financial goals, and building long-term customer relationships is very rewarding. I look forward to visiting with you about your commercial and agricultural needs.

I have been lending money to people of Kittitas County for 15 years, the last 8 years being with Central Valley Bank. I have a total of 28 years of lending experience in the Pacific Northwest. I feel very privileged to be working for a very strong community bank. Central Valley Bank provides the flexibility to work with my customers to structure loans to fit their individual needs and circumstances. Please give me a call so we can discuss your banking needs.
