Hoosier Banker 17 piece is the most important. If you don’t have people in your life who you can trust to be honest with you about how you present yourself to the world, you will never reach your true potential.” Please tell a bit about home life/pastimes. “I am blessed, blessed, blessed. While I am honored by my new title at the IBA, my favorite title is that of ‘mom.’ My husband Russ and I have two sons – Preston, aged 10, and Hudson, who is 7. “Preston thinks about and talks about sports 24/7. He plans to play in the NBA, but he tells us that plan B is to live off the interest in his bank account. I have to laugh and admit that I appreciate his passion for banking … but maybe I’ve oversold it! “Hudson has a vivid imagination. He loves to play games and pretend, but he also has a competitive streak. Hudson tells me he is going to get married, have five kids, and still live at home, so I can tuck all of them in every night. I think this plan is excellent ‒ my husband doesn’t agree. “Russ and I spend much of our time attending our boys’ sporting events. They play basketball, baseball and soccer. We also are very involved in our church. “Regarding pastimes, I am a committed fan of all of my boys’ sports teams. At home, I am the chauffeur, nurse, secretary, cook, maid, teacher, and finder of lost things. I am a news and political junkie. I enjoy cooking and interior design. It may not be glamorous, but I wouldn’t trade a minute of it!” HB Amber Van Til addresses bankers at a luncheon preceding the 2017 IBA Legislative Briefing and Reception. Craig M.
