Walker comes to FIRST with 20 years of experience in the commercial lending field and will run the company’s insurance agency commercial loan program. In this capacity, Walker will be furthering FIRST’s objective of funding the acquisition and perpetuation needs of agents and brokers across the country—a population of business owners who are typically underserved by their own bank.
