PRESIDENT , BEACH CITIES COMMERCIAL BANK
WHY:Has been in OC banking circles for almost 30 years, including helping start San Juan Capistrano-based Capital Bank that was sold in 2017.
IN THE NEWS:Raised $26M after three banks collapsed in March.
QUOTABLE:“I believe this is a good time to start a bank. If you start a bank during good economic times, spreads are compressed. Right now, you have a lot of banks not doing any lending. We have a clean balance sheet and no portfolio issues.”
NOTABLE:Beach Cities is third bank to open in Orange County in past two years.
