Scott A Schaefer

Banking Officer

In 2002, I became a banking officer at US Bank in Salem. At US Bank, I helped match customer financial needs with a wide array of banking products, including loans, lines of credit, credit cards, life insurance, annuities, and deposit accounts. I was recognized as the 5^th highest producing banker in the nation for the entire year - out of approximately 3,000 bankers in 24 states.

Branch Manager

I was promoted to branch manager in 2004 after only 21 months as a banker. During my first five years as a manager, I grew the branch base of checking accounts by 27.5%, the loan balances by 32.9%, the deposit balances by 25.3%, and the monthly fee income by 36%. I was recognized with an Annual Pinnacle award three times (the highest honor awarded to branch managers).

Small Business Owner

While working full time, I invested in rental homes. I learned to effectively market these homes, while working hard to manage the financial side of the business. I grew the business from one home to five homes in five years.

MBA Student

I am currently working towards earning my Masters in Business Administration from Oregon State University. In addition, I am also earning my Accounting Certificate (upon completion, I will have all of the accounting credits necessary to sit for the CPA exam). My expected graduation is June of 2010.
