We know what it's like to start a business. We know what is required to make a payroll. We know what it's like to navigate through tough economic times. We know what it takes to turn a dream into a company. Let us bring the years of business experience of our team to your company. Leadership Our team of experienced bankers know what it's like to start a business and also what it takes to run a business. In addition to decades in banking, the combined business experience of our team ranges from managing a startup software company, starting and operating a mortgage brokerage, taking on a business turnaround situation and successfully navigating to a sale of the company, to working in a family owned grocery business, starting and running a financial consulting firm, and operating a privately owned receivable finance business. Further, several of our team members grew up with parents who owned and operated their own businesses. These business experiences give our bankers a unique sense for what it takes for our clients to start, operate and grow their companies. We have spent time on the "other side of the banking desk". Leadership Team: (first row, left to right) Craig Scheef, Chairman, President, CEO; Chris Jones, EVP, Chief Lending Officer; Drew Keith, EVP, Chief Financial Officer; (second row, left to right) Shon Cass, EVP, Integrated Sales & Service; Libby Smith, SVP, Mortgage Lending; Chris Benson, SVP, Senior Credit Officer Market Presidents The story of our bank start up is a good example of our own entrepreneurship. Craig Scheef left a successful career as Market President of another bank in order to research and write the business plan for Texas Security Bank. He gathered a group of 13 other local business people who became the organizers of the bank, and began the process of regulatory approval and capital raise. During a perilous time in the banking industry (2007-2008), Craig led a very successful capital raise and began the process of seeing his idea, for a different kind of business bank, through to fruition by putting in place the people, systems, processes, capital and infrastructure that created the foundation of the bank we offer to you today.
