The 40-year banking industry veteran and 35-year Sarasota resident has served as BayFirst’s Chief Lending Officer since 2021 and Market President since 2018, utilizing his community banking knowledge, commercial lending experience, and community connections to drive loan and deposit growth and strengthen the bank’s partnerships in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. Earlier this month, he oversaw the purchase of the building BayFirst has rented in the Newtown area of Sarasota since January 2022, with plans to convert what was previously a loan production office (LPO) and financial resource center into a full-service banking center.
