My husband and I love to travel. We enjoy Door County, Wisconsin, and Lake of the Ozarks. We have one daughter who is a nurse and a great son-in-law who is also a nurse & teacher. I have been with BANK since November 2016 in the Operations Department. My main responsibility is paying insurance and taxes. I enjoy what I do at BANK and look forward to serving our customers for years to come.
I enjoy being on the water. I love vacationing at the beach and fishing in Canada. I am a wife and a mother to a son and a daughter. I have spent the last 20 years watching them in all their activities. I will soon be an empty nester and I can’t wait to start going new places. What I love about BANK is the small community bank feel. Knowing that your employer cares about you and your community makes it a pleasure to work here.
I am a huge football fan. Mostly cheering on the Iowa Hawkeye and Denver Broncos, but I can sit through just about any football game. I love polka music, once a year my whole family travels to Wisconsin to German Fest. I am a veteran in the banking field. I have worked in the financial world for 25+ years and have seen so many changes over the years. BANK is a unique financial institution. We have highly professional mortgage lenders who work with other bank’s needs, processing their secondary market loans. In other parts of the bank we are a young team working hard to help every client. I enjoy working in the smaller, more personal bank. They seem to care more about their customers and employees.
You can usually find me watching my boys in their sporting events, whether it is SCC Blackhawks or Notre Dame Nikes. I have been an active member of the ND Athletic Booster Club for several years. As a family we also enjoy cheering on the Chicago Cubs. My favorite part about working at BANK are the relationships I have built & continue to build with my customers.
Outside of work I love to spend time with my friends and family. I have a very close family and we are almost always doing something on the weekends. In the summer we spend a lot of time camping and out on the water. I love playing volleyball and soccer. I am playing volleyball in college as well. I really like working at BANK because of the environment that we have here. Everyone is super friendly and very helpful when needed.
If I am not working, you can find me spending time with my family, friends, or traveling. What I love most about working at BANK is that it gives me the opportunity to learn and grow both on a personal & professional level. I enjoy the small-town banking atmosphere where we know our customers by name.
I like to say that my life is usually filled with the 5 F’s; including my Faith, Family, Friends, Flying and Finance. When not working you can usually find me hanging out with family and friends, or up in the air flying an airplane around the local area. I have a passion for helping folks reach their goals, and here at BANK I get the opportunity every day to work alongside people and businesses to help them meet their financial goals. At BANK, we strive every day to add value to our customers lives which is just one of the reason’s that makes BANK special and a great place to work.
I spend most of my time snuggling and playing with my daughter. When it’s warm, I spend time on the river and ride our SXS with friends and family. I love reading about mysteries and true crime. I take joy coming to work because I love my co-workers and enjoy working with numbers. We have the best customers which makes me feel valued and appreciated.
I was born and raised in Wapello. After high school I attended the University of Northern Iowa where I graduated with an M.A degree in History with an emphasis on Public History. My husband and I now live in Morning Sun with our two dogs, and our many cats. When I am not working at BANK you can find me reading a good book, spending time with family and friends or snuggling up with my fur babies. I enjoy working at BANK because of the small-town atmosphere and because they encourage being involved in our communities! I also enjoy working at BANK because of my co-workers and the customers – everyone is very friendly!
Outside of work I am a mother to two children who are constantly on the go. As they are younger, we are trying all sorts of activities like dance, t-ball, soccer, and 4-H. I am enjoying watching them learn all the things that they like or will be good at. My husband (the boy next door) and I are both avid hunters and enjoy just being outside when we can. Having spent the prior twelve years of my banking career with a large community bank, the best part about working with BANK is feeling valued as an employee and being given the opportunity to truly help people. It is refreshing to be able to provide the financial support that people need, but also viewing them as people and not just numbers.
Relationships are what I value the most whether it be at home with my girls, on the golf course with my friends, or at BANK with co-workers and customers. I’m very fortunate to have some tremendous relationships and BANK has allowed me to continue to grow in that regard.
I am an adventurous person by nature. My son and I are always on the go and usually doing something outdoors like kayaking, hiking, or traveling to seeing new things. BANK is a huge part of my personal and professional life; my co-workers are like family and BANK is more than just an everyday job to me. I have had the amazing chance to grow with a company that truly cares about its employees, customers, and community.
I grew up on a farm near Morning Sun, Iowa with my brother and sister. I graduated from Mediapolis Community Schools and currently attend Southeastern Community College. In the warmer months I enjoy kayaking, camping, and hiking. In most of my free time I spend time with my family and my many animals. I enjoy working at BANK because they treat you like family. I enjoy helping others and showing our customers what a great experience they can have.
I enjoy spending my free time hangout with family and friends. You can find me around a campfire with the people and animals I love any day of the weekends. BANK supports our locals and is a great part of our community. I love coming to work and helping our customers have a fantastic customer experience.
I am a mom of 4 and am very active. I like to play, watch, and coach sports. Throughout the year you’ll find me on a ball diamond, football field, volleyball court, basketball court, soccer field, golf course or at a track. My husband, kids and I love to fish, hike and camp with our dog, Whiskey. We love to travel and try to go on at least 2 grand adventures a year. However, you can occasionally find me curled up with a good book or in the kitchen baking. I enjoy working at BANK because of their family mentality. You’re not just another person or number walking through the door, you are family and that’s how BANK views and treats all its employees and customers. BANK staff genuinely cares about you, your family and all your financial needs throughout all phases of your life.
I grew up in Burlington and have been married for 41 years. I have two sons and three of the greatest grandchildren and one on the way. I’m a die-hard Steelers fan. I love to go boating and taking trips on our side by sides. I love working at BANK because of the top-notch customer service and the great co-workers.
I was born and raised in small town Wapello, Iowa. I graduated from Iowa Wesleyan University in Mount Pleasant and had the awesome opportunity to study abroad my senior year. I traveled the world and moved right back to my hometown to raise my family. I am the mother of 2 kiddos, ages 7 and 3. During the summer months you can find us at the racetrack or demolition derby cheering on IB25. If we are not traveling to the next race, we are fishing with our friends and family or paddle boating around our pond. The winter months are spent inside soaking up the wood heat or in the garage restoring old muscle cars. I enjoy working for BANK for multiple reasons, but mainly because of the close bond I have developed with my coworkers and customers. BANK customers and employees both have a genuine care for one another, and it proves that I ended right back in Wapello where I am supposed to be.
I am a collector. I owned a flower shop for 20 years, which explains why I enjoy any creative project. I love and collect many vintage goodies; most have family stories that I treasure. I was adopted at 6 ½, even with a new first name. I tell people that this is why I’m quirky. I am the second oldest of six that my folks adopted. My husband and I have been married for 40 years and have one grandchild. We went on to be foster parents and have 3 adopted children of our own. Things I love include spending time at our cabin at Lake Odessa and absolutely anything crafty. I live by the quote- “choose your love, love your choice”. I enjoy working at BANK because of the people I get to work with every day.
After graduating from Wapello High School in 2016 I attended Southeastern Community College for 2 years. In 2018 I started at UNI where I earned my bachelor’s degree in finance management. Outside of work you will find me playing or watching sports. I also enjoy spending quality time with my family bingeing our favorite TV shows. I have been in the banking industry for 7 years working as a Teller, Bookkeeper, Lender, and now as a Compliance Specialist. What I find most appealing about working for BANK is how involved they are in the communities they serve.
I’m an explorer. I prefer warm enough weather where I can canoe, kayak, camp, and hike. I dream of visiting the Sequoia National Park, whitewater rafting, and sending my husband on a hunting trip in Alaska. Outside of work I keep busy with my 4 daughters, but I also have a passion for teaching Sunday School and Junior Achievement. I enjoy working at BANK because of the small-town customer service we can deliver with our big town products, and of course my awesome co-workers.
When anyone asked me what I do, I always say I’m a “banker”. To me that means that I spend my days in the business of buying and selling money. I love doing that in as unique and creative ways possible. My second passion is flying. I own and operate several aircraft for business travel and personal pleasure.
I am a proud Iowa State alum and fan. During the half of the year where Iowa’s weather cooperates, I’m out getting bogies on the golf course. The other half of the year I sprain my ankles playing old‐man pickup basketball. BANK is definitely not your typical bank, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I enjoy working at BANK because our team is dedicated to providing a unique solution for every client and we have a good time while doing it!
Wife to my college sweetheart and mom to our beautiful daughter. I run on caffeine & country music and I’m a salsa & queso addict. Outside of work, you can usually find me at the gym, spending quality time with my little fam and doing things I love with them and my friends. During the warmer months I enjoy going out to my family’s farm, boating at the lake or relaxing by a pool. During the colder months, you can find me in front of the fireplace binge-watching Hallmark movies or reading a good book. I love that BANK is constantly focusing on helping our customers make the most of every dollar they earn. I enjoy coming to work because I love my co-workers and the atmosphere here at BANK. I love interacting with our customers and being that friendly face, they see when they walk through our doors.
Nick and his wife have three daughters (11, 13, 14) and they reside on an acreage with “plenty” of animals in Dallas Center. Nick has a passion for youth sports, specifically soccer. As a coach and most recently a referee, he believes in giving back to the community in any way possible. Very rarely can you go to a Dallas Center Grimes sporting event and not see Nick in the crowd.
Nick is making his transition to BANK in West Des Moines full of excitement to get out in public and work hand in hand with business owners who are looking to grow. Any Commercial or Ag lending questions that you may have, please reach out to Nick who would love to help in any way.
I am a wife and a mother to a beautiful, blended family of six children and two grandchildren (so far!). I enjoy traveling with my husband to anywhere the sun is shining, and the ocean waves are rolling in. I also enjoy trying new recipes, reading a good book, and spending time with my family. I love making connections, building relationships, and positively impacting those around me, which is exactly why I love working at BANK, because that is what we are all about.
I have always had a passion for making connections with people and assisting them in meeting their goals. I love that I have the opportunity to do that every day working at BANK. Another reason I love working at BANK is because each day we work together as a team to help each other continue to learn and grow so we can help others reach their goals. Outside of work I enjoy working out, binge watching my favorite shows, and spending quality time with my family.
