In just a little more than 15 years, Justin has built a well-rounded career in banking. He has worked as a personal banker, as a small business banker, as a branch manager and now as a commercial loan officer. Regardless of the banking role, Justin learned success in banking requires an affinity for people as well as a firm grasp of numbers. After an early stint in a much larger bank, Justin enjoys Heritage Bank’s culture and feels empowered to make decisions in the best interest of his customers rather than focus on meeting sales targets.

Inspired to join their ranks, Joe took a night job at a bank processing and carrying checks to the Federal Reserve Bank. During the day, he completed his bachelor’s degree. After 25 years with the same bank, Joe’s customers followed him to Heritage Bank because they value his experience, knowledge and character. Joe came to Heritage Bank because he believed the bank offered a better customer experience.

Pat was surrounded by numbers people growing up – his mother was a bookkeeper and his brother was a banker – so a 40+ year career in banking might seem inevitable. But it’s the people he serves who fuel Pat’s passion. That’s why so many of his customers have referred their customers to him.
“I love to see how different businesses make money and understand why each customer is so passionate about what they do. It’s gratifying to play a part in helping entrepreneurs meet their goals.”

Matt’s dad was a banker who thought of banking as relational rather than transactional. Like father, like son.
