Welcome Brandon Souba!
Last week Warren Whitted III introduced us to new member Brandon Souba.   Brandon Souba is the Assistant Vice President Treasury Relationship Manager at Core Bank. Brandon was born in the small town of David City and moved to Omaha NE when he was 5. He has resided in Omaha for the last 35 years with 2 years in Sioux City Iowa where he earned his degree in Band Instrument Repair.
 
His sales career started in 2007 selling countertops for a local franchise and that lead him to discover the networking organization called BNI. After 7 years of countertops sales, he went over to BNI full time and covered the states of Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wyoming where he traveled helping business owners grow their business through referrals. Once his second daughter was born, Brandon wanted to get off the road and he found an opportunity in the mortgage world as a Loan Officer with US Bank. After 2 years in the Mortgage industry Core Bank brought him on to grow the healthcare department within the bank. For the last 2 years he has specialized in providing concierge service to Physicians across the US but predominantly in the Omaha area.
 
Starting in 2024 Brandon moved over to Treasury at Core bank where he will continue to help Medical Practices with there banking, but will expand his reach in to all business banking opportunities.    Welcome, Brandon!
