Casey McClyman
MADISON, Wis., — Lake Ridge Bank has named Casey McClyman chief credit officer, succeeding Pete Graven as part of a planned leadership transition. Graven’s retirement was scheduled for Sept. 18 after nearly 42 years in banking, including more than 20 years with Lake Ridge Bank.
McClyman returned to the bank in July after three years as senior vice president and chief credit officer at Farmers Savings Bank. Before that, he spent nearly two decades with Lake Ridge Bank, including 10 years as senior vice president and business relationship manager.
His experience also includes retail banking, personal banking and loan services. Graven spent several months mentoring McClyman before the transition.
“Casey is someone who really represents our philosophy of community banking,” said Jim Tubbs, chief executive officer.
McClyman earned a bachelor’s degree in consumer science and personal finance from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
He volunteers at Mount Horeb High School as a DECA mentor and Junior Achievement presenter. He also served for 13 years as a volunteer firefighter and EMS ambulance driver.
The son of a local hardware store owner, McClyman said his upbringing shaped his appreciation for small businesses and heir contributions to community growth.
