“Having run a lumber business for over 40 years, I've been on both sides of the desk. I know the difficulties businesses face with meeting weekly payrolls and struggling, oftentimes, just to stay in business. When people come to me to talk about their problems, I can relate because I have been there.”

A responsibility that First National Bank takes seriously is helping shape the economic growth of our area. This results in jobs that give our children and grandchildren the opportunity to have the good things we wish for them - right here at home.”
