Reed's favorite part of the job is getting to know business owners—not just looking at financial statements, but learning how their businesses started, what makes them successful, where they want to go next, and how he can help them get there. He is proud to be part of WaFd and especially enjoys helping small businesses find the financing they need to grow and succeed.
His favorite activity is to hang out with his wife and grandbabies!
