It's a great feeling to be in this situation. At first, coming over here, it was hard for me and my cousin James. I mean it was a big transformation for us. But we managed to put everything behind us and just roll.
I see us on the threshold of a great economic boom in most of our markets. I see our balance sheet growing. I see viable loans grow. I see customers who have taken it on the chin get right back up and are going to work.
We have so many great candidates. Our biggest surprise has been that our inductees who have accomplished so much are just as honored as we are to have been chosen.
