Celebrating Our Dads | Happy Father’s Day
In celebration of Father’s Day, we invited dads from our team to share lasting words of wisdom they learned from their own fathers, and the impacting life lessons they’ve learned from raising their children.
JON ECKERT
President and Chief Executive Officer
What have you learned from your father?Be grateful for where you are, but never settle for where you are.
Best piece of advice?
Success won’t just come to you. You have to go out and get it!
What have you learned from your children?
While we try to teach our children all about life, our children actually teach us what life is all about.
MARK ODOM
Executive Vice President, Commercial Banking
What have you learned from your father?Everything. He is still my role model today, and the way he lives his life, with the positivity he instills, is something I’ve always tried to emulate.
Best piece of advice?
You learn more during your failures than you could possibly ever learn during your wins — but it sure is fun to win!
What have you learned from your children?
Patience, humility, and that sarcasm is hereditary!
