Executive Vice President

The harder you work, the luckier you get.
— Gary Player

We will work hard to develop and expand our relationship, be your trusted advisor and earn your respect.

I have always been a firm believer in treating employees and clients with respect. Then I'm able to develop working, personal and business relationships. In my 33 years of banking, a deposit is still a deposit and a loan is still a loan. What means most to our clients is having the confidence and trust in their officer to know their business, be proactive, and respond to their needs.

You can have anything in the world you want if you'll just help enough other people get what they want.—Zig Ziglar

One might argue that the meaning of life, in one word, is "relationships." Banking is no exception. The most satisfying part of my work is helping clients reach their goals. Developing a solid rapport with the client is paramount in doing so.

Lynn Eerkes
SVP/Snohomish County Team Leader, Everett

The most valuable things in life can't be seen or touched.

While each loan I provide serves a specific purpose I understand that each of my clients has personal, financial, and lifestyle goals that ultimately drive their decisions. I enjoy getting to know each individual and developing a personal relationship with them. In my 22 years in banking I've worked with firms varying in size from small start up companies to large multi-national corporations and throughout a wide variety of industries. These experiences help me structure banking relationships to meet the individual goals of my clients.

VP/Business Banker, Evergreen Way

Keeping the end results in mind

I enjoy getting to know my diverse customers and building relationships with them. The most rewarding part of my job is seeing the end result when a loan for expansion, start-up or buyout brings success to the owner.

You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take. Wayne Gretzky, NHL Hall of Famer

Partnering for success

I approach every potential new customer the same way: If there's a way to take care of their needs, I'll find it. Business customers come to a bank to find an advocate for their needs, and I take that role seriously. My reward is in partnering with them to help them become successful and grow. Because Cascade Bank is smaller, we have real advantages in managing a relationship.
