Josh hails from the Southwest region of Wisconsin where he currently resides. He has a unique understanding of both the agriculture and commercial financial services industries, having grown up on his family’s dairy farm and earning a degree from Southwest Technical College in business finance and marketing. He is also a graduate of the Graduate School of Banking at UW-Madison. Josh has worked in the community banking industry since 2007 and specializes in agriculture, commercial, real estate and consumer lending. “One of the most rewarding things about being a lender is helping friends and neighbors achieve financial success and watching our local businesses grow”.
Josh has always enjoyed being a part of the community and regularly donates his time to local organizations, including the Iowa County Cattleman’s Association, the Dodgeville Chamber and Iowa-Grant SnoCats. Being a part of the SnoCats, Josh enjoys snowmobiling in the winter. During the summer months, you can find Josh spending time on the boat, helping at his family’s dairy farm or chilling with family and friends.

Barb has spent most of her career in the community banking industry having started in banking in 1975 as a loan secretary – back when all loan documents were typed with a typewriter! She learned a lot about lending in this position, and eventually became a loan officer. She enjoys building relationships with customers and finds great joy in doing home loans to see the excitement customers have when getting the keys to their new home.
Barb’s favorite time of year is spring when she can enjoy planting flowers; her family actually coordinates keeping her away from the greenhouses! She also enjoys fall to admire the colorful leaves that cover her hometown area in the Driftless region of southern Wisconsin. Barb is also enjoying her new granddaughter who is a very active and loved little girl.
