"My father was the manager of a small savings and loan in the small town I grew up in. When I was a boy, he'd show me the vault, and I'd get excited. Early on, I was taught the potential and the respect of money. So I feel a bit at home in this environment. When it comes to finding the right bank to continue my career, I feel TSB shares the values and priorities that are important to me. I am also enticed by the growth opportunities that TSB presents."
