New Faces on Board at First Guaranty Bank
11 January 2022 - 8:49AM
First Guaranty Bank welcomes a very experienced team to lead their
new Mideast market located in Kentucky and West Virginia. The move
into the Mideastern part of the United States is a natural
progression as the bank already has ties there. Marshall T.
Reynolds, the Chairman of the Board is a lifelong resident of
Huntington, WV. Additionally, the loan opportunities complement the
way the bank does business in its other markets. Alton Lewis,
President & CEO of First Guaranty Bank says, “We are a true
community bank; we lend to people, not numbers. With this
knowledgeable team in place, we can continue to lend in the way we
know how and give our customers the top-notch service they
deserve.”
At the helm of this team is Mike Mineer, a
32-year banking veteran, formerly President & CEO at Citizens
Deposit Bank and Trust. Mike is now FGB’s Mideast Market President
who brings with him a team of 12 community bankers to build the
bank’s presence in the new market. The employees joining the
Kentucky team are Daniel Pack, Regional Manager; Jane Muehlbauer,
Lender; Marty Cole, Lender; Ammon Cooper, Lender; and Adam Christy,
Mortgage Loan Processor. The employees joining the West Virginia
team are Samuel Gallo, Regional Manager; Jason Turner, Lender;
Chris Parr, Lender; Craig Hriblan, Lender; Lisa Musgrave, Lender
and Treasury Management; Lisa Blackwell, Loan Processor II; and
Diana Kinder, Loan Processing Supervisor.
Mike states, “We are humbled by the opportunity
to assimilate into First Guaranty Bank. The team and I can hit the
ground running and help the communities and the company quickly.
This team has shared values and a strong work ethic; we are ready
to do business.”
“I look forward to watching this team grow. They
know each other and their communities best. I have no doubt they
will be successful,” Lewis states.
