For me, banking is all about building real, lasting relationships with my clients. As someone born and raised in Shawano, I care deeply about the success of our local businesses. With nearly 40 years in banking, I’ve had the privilege of working with companies of all sizes to help them achieve their financial goals. Whether you need guidance on commercial loans, SBA financing, cash flow management, or planning for the future, I’m here to listen, collaborate, and find the best solutions for your business.

I believe in being honest, respectful, and straightforward. While I’m here to encourage you, I also believe in practicing candor with respect — giving you honest advice that helps move your business forward. My goal is to be a trusted advisor, someone who listens carefully, understands your challenges, and problem-solves effectively.

What I love most about my job is seeing my clients succeed. Helping local business owners reach their goals and watching their businesses grow is incredibly rewarding. Knowing I’ve played a part in their journey — and seeing how that success benefits their teams and the Shawano community — is what inspires me every day.

If you’re considering where to bank, my advice is simple: A true community bank is the best place to bank. At AbbyBank, you’re not just a number — you’re part of the community, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. So let’s work together, have honest conversations, and make great things happen.
