Working diligently to fully understand both the owners' personal and company goals, Sue delivers banking solutions aligned with their specific needs.

Their current home is on Jordan Lake, and their children are grown and beginning their successful adult lives. Her family is avid sports fans. She played basketball for Calvin College while her husband played baseball for Central Michigan University. Her daughter played college volleyball for Cornerstone University where she earned All-American. Giving back to her community is also of great importance to Sue. She stays active by volunteering and coordinating many community-based events, serving as a board member of the Christian Counseling Center, member of the Westend Christian Reformed Church, member of the Sunfield United Brethren Church Governance Team, and treasurer for the Lakewood Education Foundation.
