What do you do now and what are you planning for the future? I am working with my clients to create the right mix of banking products (construction loans to perms, investment real estate loans, lines of credit, cash management, trade finance, etc…) that meets their needs. The future is all about building a reputation in the marketplace as the “go-to-guy,” being knowledgeable, responsive and a fun guy to do business with.
How do you unwind from a busy day in banking? I have 4 wonderful kids under the age of 16 and it is an endless parade of baseball, soccer and football practices and games; ballet, recitals and plays with my girls. Tiring but invigorating!
