Getting to Know Loren
What do you like most about your job?
I most like the opportunities I am given to truly help people on a personal level. The expertise, collegiality, and team-work ethic within First Western provides an incredible resource for effective problem solving of issues for our clients. I also like the appreciation that is expressed during and after our collaborative efforts for my inputs.
What person, living or deceased, would you most like to meet?
