Darin Floyd joined the bank’s award-winning team as Loan Officer III and was appointed Vice President. Raised in Wrangell, Floyd is a third-generation Alaskan, returning to the state after receiving his Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from Boise State University. He has over two decades of banking experience in a career that has taken him to Petersburg, Craig, Juneau and now Anchorage. “I’m proud to be a part of the Best Place to Work in Alaska,” said Floyd. “It means a lot to be a part of a team that is invested in the growth and success of their own community.”
Erica Skiff began her First National journey as a Teller at the Northern Lights Branch in 2015.
