With over thirteen years of banking experience in various roles, Jonathan has spent the past three years serving as Vice President and Corporate Training Officer here at First Bank & Trust Co.

I’m excited to bring a fresh perspective to the department, especially with the skills and insights I have gained over the years in both the banking industry and training role. This is a great opportunity to help strengthen the bank from the inside out, and I look forward to the challenge.”
