As Chief Lending Officer for First Federal of Lakewood, I am responsible for all commercial, consumer, treasury management and investment services lines of business.I am not your typical banker. I view myself more as a networking specialist. I focus on building relationships and making introductions with mid-market business owners located in Northeast Ohio. As a member of the Bank's Executive team, I provide my clients with direct access to the decision makers.My clients appreciate the straight forward advice I provide...without pushing product. My ideal business client is an established Northeast Ohio company with a motivated, seasoned, owner-managed team. They value relationships, have positive cash flow, have collateral and must be technology savvy. - Lending Needs up to $10mm- History of success - Relationship driven - not transactionalOver the years I have built trusted relationships with customers, partners, and employees. My clients have chosen to bank with my team because we effectively combine a personalized, solutions oriented approach with the lending capacity and comprehensive products of larger institutions. I facilitate many networking events and educational symposiums throughout the year, that often result in valuable introductions and referrals for our customers.
