We're a community bank that's grown to be $1.6 billion strong because we remember our hometowns--and that everyone's needs are different and constantly changing. Local decisions. One-on-one service.

With over fourteen years of experiance in the Banking Industry I have had the opportunity to touch many areas of the field. My career started as a loan officer with Wells Fargo Financial working in retail banking (credit cards, personal loans, mortgages and auto financing). From there I spent several years in the role of Branch Sales Manager of retail centers for both Regions and Chase Bank. This gave me the opportunity to focus on the sales management side of the business, which included hiring and developing staff as well as developing a working knowledge of the Balance Sheet and P &L. From there I transitioned to the commercial lending arena, which is the current position I hold with Business First Bank. Specialties: My specialities include: Management, Leadership, Negotiation and Decision Making
