“Ideally, at some point I would like to be president of our bank. I have some great mentors that are helping me develop some of my leadership skills,” including chairman Dean Fitting and president Vince Cameranesi.

Did you approach them?

“A few of them took me under their wing. Some of them I approached and wanted to learn about their careers and how they became CEOs and presidents. I firmly believe if you want to get somewhere, you’ve got to learn from somebody who’s done it before.”

In your free time?

“I’m part of the Milwaukee Curling Club. It’s really cool because I curl with people of all ages. We have people that are still in high school to one of our members is like 90 years old. The sport is fun in itself, but then after the curling game you sit down and have a drink with everyone, even the people you played against.”
