I have worked in Southern California for most of my banking career, and I am excited to continue to grow this bank into the ‘bank of choice’ for businesses in Southern California. This is a great time to be in community banking. After the last few years, businesses realize they can count on community banks like Friendly Hills. I know we can continue to build a solid company that helps the communities we serve and provides value to our shareholders.”
