Fanning brings wealth of Southeast Alaska financial experience to bank

An Alaskan born and raised in Juneau, Luke Fanning recently joined First National Bank Alaska as a loan officer and was appointed vice president.

He will work out of the Valley Centre Branch in the capitol city.

"First National is a great bank with an excellent and unparalleled reputation for customer service," Fanning said. "I'm happy to be here and look forward to learning from our customers in an effort to help make them more successful."

Fanning brings seven years of banking experience to First National and has worked with customers in every major Southeast Alaska community. He studied life science and business administration as an undergrad at the University of Portland before earning an MBA from the University of Alaska in 2010.

"We relish the opportunity to enjoy all Southeast Alaska has to offer," Fanning said.
