In his banking career, Mike was responsible for a multi-million-dollar loan portfolio for a super-regional bank. He managed the department with a team of commercial lenders assisting business owners with operating lines of credit, equipment loans, commercial real estate loans, SBA lending and treasury management services. Mike initiated and led a project joining the business banking team with the wealth advisor team to work together for the business owners.
