Treasurer

Patrick Flickinger

With over 30 years of experience in bank management, I’ve built a career rooted in financial integrity, strategic leadership, and a commitment to helping others navigate their financial journeys. While my professional life is spent in the fast-paced world of banking, my greatest joy comes from my life at home with my wife, Kelly, and our five children. Outside of the office, I enjoy both soil and sandpaper. I’m an avid gardener who enjoys landscaping and designing gardens and finding the hidden potential in old furniture, through repurposing and refinishing antique pieces.
