Baylake Bank Welcomes New Mortgage Loan Officer

Baylake Bank recently welcomed Kim Hess to the position of Mortgage Loan Officer. Hess is currently working from Baylake Bank's Howard Financial Center and plans to serve the Suamico community when an additional Baylake Bank office is completed at 2502 Lineville Road in August.

Hess has worked in the banking industry for more than 14 years. After graduating from UW-Eau Claire with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, she pursued her career in personal banking and consumer lending, branch management, and most recently as a mortgage lender.

"I'm excited to be part of the Baylake Bank team at the new Suamico office. The core values of the company, including conducting business with integrity, genuinely caring about people you work with, and being fair and responsible, all reflect my personal values. I am ready to assist the Howard and Suamico communities by providing the highest level of service and a wide array of mortgage loan services," Hess said.

She and her husband, Michael, moved to the Howard area in 1994, and later to Suamico where they now reside with their two children. Hess is a member of the Suamico Area Business Association and has volunteered for the PTO of the Forest Glen Elementary School and had served as secretary for Good Shepherd Nursery School in Howard for two years.

Baylake Bank serves its communities from 27 financial centers in Brown, Door, Green Lake, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Outagamie, Waupaca, and Waushara counties, and from its website. The bank is title sponsor of the Baylake Bank Tall Ship Festival running July 27-31, 2006. More information can be found at www.baylake.com.
