Our first spotlight was a big hit so we're excited to bring you our second installment. Ladies and Gentleman... may I present Mr. Alan Jefferson.
Alan Jefferson
Alan works with entrepreneurs by helping them achieve their goals in business. He presents innovative financing solutions coupled with a complete banking relationship. He prides himself in being a “trusted advisor”, by always putting his clients first. A traditional “small business banker”, while comfortable with larger transactions, in the $1.5mm range, he is at his best in lower ranges. He has the advantage of being able to provide financing solutions for very small needs as well – as low as $10,000, which sets him apart from many bankers.
Alan started his banking career in 1974 -- becoming a lender in 1984. His proudest moment(s) over the years have been anytime he was compared to his father. His Dad was a banker for 37 years and did wonderful things in the community.
In his personal life, Alan is very proud of his family. His wife Mary, put her career as a Horticulturist on hold 20 years ago to stay at home and raise their children. A job Alan very much admires. “I often tell people that I have 2 kids, but Mary has 3. If you know me, you’ll understand.”
Alan’s daughter Amanda, is a Jr at UNC-Wilmington where she is a top student in Marine Biology. She is active with the campus Catholic Ministry and is a first string violinist for the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra. She volunteered at the National Aquarium for 2 years, and was a camp counselor for Camp Possibilities (diabetes) and worked at the Conservancy.
Son David is a Freshman at Stony Brook University on Long Island, NY. He is considering History and Political Science. David is a computer whiz who started his own company at age 16. An avid cyclist, he typically would ride up to 150 miles a week. David was in scouting from age 6 to 18, and at 16 he went to Philmont Reservation for 2 weeks of high adventure backpacking.
In Alan’s extra time, he enjoys music (loves to go to shows – classic rock), the beach and LOVES the Terps. He is very active with the Terrapin Club and has season tix for Men’s and Women’s hoops, football, Men’s LAX. He served 2 terms on the board in College Park.
Anyone who knows Alan understands he has a bit of a warped sense of humor. “I see funny things that others might not. I guess, for the most part, Alan Jefferson likes to laugh at… Alan Jefferson.”
