HB defender. Issues in the cases were fairly complex, and I had to simplify it so that my clients could understand. That’s useful in banking, as well, because a lot of customers really don’t understand how banking works. “The other advantage from law practice is that as you are doing things in the bank, the law side is always in the background. You know what you can and can’t do, or should and shouldn’t do.” In a past Hoosier Banker interview, you said your motto is, ‘Work hard, play hard.’ What do you mean by that? “When I play, I tend to play hard. I’ve been accused of doing everything as hard as I can. “I enjoy long-distance motorcycle trips, though those are happening less now that we have three kids. I also started running a few years ago and have done a few marathons. “Running, motorcycle trips and bicycling are my three big hobbies. Every now and then I’ll go to an IBA meeting on a motorcycle. “I have gone to court on my motorcycle, but it’s a little tough to ride it in a suit and still look decent by the time you get there. When I visit with bankers this year, though, I plan to sometimes go on casual days and ride a motorcycle.” If you weren’t a banker/lawyer, what would you be? “If I weren’t a banker, probably I’d be unemployed. I’m not sure I would be qualified to do anything else. Ever since I was a kid, I knew I wanted to come to the bank, and being a lawyer is just what the family did, so I’ve literally never done anything else. “At one time I thought it would be interesting to be a bicycle mechanic. I can’t work on my own bike, but I always thought it would be fun. “And I’ve always wondered about being a high school teacher, just because kids have a lot of energy. I would teach something in the liberal arts, probably English. “I was always better at math and science, but I majored in philosophy in college.” HB
