Q: What does Sandy Spring Bank have to offer its clients?
A: Sandy Spring Bank is a full-service financial company with more than 50 locations. We offer business and personal loans and deposits as well as investment, wealth management and trust services through West Financial, Sandy Spring Bank Trust and Rembert, Pendelton & Jackson. The key to our success for more than 155 years is making every one of our clients know that their business is the most important piece of business we have.Â
In our capacity as a financial services business, we work with individuals, nonprofits, small-to-medium-size businesses, middle market and large corporate clients who are seeking a bank that is big enough to have a wide variety of sophisticated competitive products and services, but still small enough to offer outstanding personal service. Every client has a banker who lives and works in our communities. Our team offers customized solutions to meet our clients’ financial objectives.
Q: What made you want to be a banker?
A: I have always had a heart for service and banking was a natural fit for me. Early in my career, I realized the importance of bankers acting as a valuable resource for individuals and businesses. As I have gotten to know my clients more, I have established not only working relationships, but friendships. I have always been happiest in my career when I could help a client work through a challenging situation or when my experience could benefit them when they needed to make strategic plans for their businesses.Â
