Kris Proudfoot Named New Residential Loan Originator at Crews Bank & Trust

Port Charlotte, Fla., January 18, 2024 - Crews Bank & Trust is pleased to announce that Kris Proudfoot has joined the bank as a Residential Loan Originator, filling the role recently vacated by Connie Richhart, who retired after more than 40 years in residential lending.

Before joining Crews Bank & Trust, she worked locally at another financial institution. 

“When Connie announced she was retiring, my first thought was how difficult it would be to find someone to fill her shoes,” said Craig DeYoung, Market President. “We are thrilled that Kris, with more than 25 years of mortgage lending experience, has joined our team. Kris not only has the necessary experience but also lives our culture of service, integrity, community, and teamwork.”

She is also an Ex-Officio member of the CDBIA Board of Directors and is active in the Charlotte County Chamber, serving as a director.

When asked about her job, Proudfoot said, “I love that Crews Bank & Trust is a true family-owned community bank making quick and local decisions with no surprises.”
