BACKGROUND ON Kyle Scherder Vice President, Community State Bank of Missouri For Kyle Scherder, community banking is more than a career — it’s a way to serve the place that shaped him. Born and raised in Bowling Green, Missouri, Scherder never imagined he would one day return home to build both his professional and family life in the same small town where he grew up. Today, as vice president of Community State Bank of Missouri, he can’t imagine being anywhere else. His story is grounded in relationships, hard work and a deep appreciation for community values. Though his path to banking wasn’t exactly what he first envisioned, it ultimately proved to be the perfect fit. “I really enjoy getting to work with people,” Scherder said. “In a small community, you know your customers. You’re helping them make some of the most important financial decisions of their lives.” That personal connection is what continues to drive him more than a decade into his career at Community State Bank. Scherder’s roots in Bowling Green run deep. Now, he and his wife, Olivia, are raising their own family there, balancing busy careers and an active household with their three children — Sally, Hattie and Gregory — and their dog, Lucy. Olivia works as a nurse at Hannibal Regional Hospital, and together they’ve embraced The Show-Me Banker Magazine | 11
