Commerce Bank has a history of doing this kind of thing.  I worked at Commerce in the mid 90s and at that time there was a loan officer whose name I can't recall that had been a local radio personality for decades before Commerce hired him as a loan officer.

No, none of these I am afraid.  Darn, still can't remember the guys name.  I grew up in Manhattan and I had never heard of the guy till I started working with him, so it was primarily the older folks that knew him from the radio.

I do know another story about a radio guy/ banker.  I spoke with somebody who used to work at a bank in Lawrence a long time ago. Max Falkenstien was employed there for a long time as a loan officer at the same time he was the radio voice of the Jayhawks.  I was told that Max didn't really know a lot about banking or making loans and stuff but he was really great at meeting people and shaking hands and stuff. 

Apparently he brought in a lot of business because everybody in Lawrence wanted to meet Max.  So he would sit in his office and read Playboy magazine until somebody came in to say hi, then he would have go visit with them for a bit.

Well for one, I highly doubt that he "read" Playboy.

But srsly who's gonna do MHS games? Greg Hoyt? :ick:

@wackycat

Ill assume he'll still do them. I still do games on the side with an 8-5, but if he doesn't want to, I'm in!

You're thinking of Dev Nelson. And he didn't become a banker, he opened up a baseball card shop and sold approximately 120 Kirby Puckett cards to SB bro.
