Cliff brings more than 25 years of experience in financial services with a focus on commercial and consumer mortgage underwriting, commercial and industrial (C&I) lending, mergers and acquisitions, and helping customers manage bank term debt and operating lines of credit.

“My goal is to always provide local Snohomish County businesses with the commercial banking guidance, wisdom and capital they need to succeed,” said Cliff. “A central part of my role as a banker is to help customers better understand their own businesses, and what differentiates them in their respective industries. I take great pride in helping customers find the best financial path for growth, whether it be through a merger, an acquisition, a new piece of equipment or the right property.”

Cliff has a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Washington and an MBA from the University of Phoenix.
