Relationship Lender focused on providing value to small and mid-sized commercial businesses within the Chicagoland area. My focus is not on selling money, but rather on building strong long term relationships with customers where I can be considered a Trusted Advisor to that business. The importance of open communication between parties and my ability to share ideas and opportunities between clients sets me apart from other Bankers in Chicago.Specialties: Working Capital Management, Equipment and Owner Occupied Real Estate, Bond Issuances, ESOP Financing, Leasing, and Not-for-Profit Lending.
