LoweryBank, a Division of Huntington State Bank is pleased to announce that Steve Epps has been named President of LoweryBank in Sugar Land. Mr. Epps has been with LoweryBank since it began serving its customers in January 2005 and was its first employee. Having worked in the banking industry for over 44 years, he has been active in Fort Bend County and Greater Houston as a community banker since 1979, when he relocated from Bank of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia. At that time he was recruited to assist in the opening of a de novo bank in Houston. He attended Old Dominion University and is a graduate of the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prior to joining LoweryBank, he had responsibilities in the areas of commercial, consumer and private bank lending, problem loan resolution, branch bank management and business development. During that period of time, he served in various of those capacities with Texas Commerce Bank, Commonwealth Savings Association, NCNB Texas National Bank, as Agent for the Resolution Trust Corporation-Receiver for University Savings Association, Fort Bend Federal Savings Association and Southwest Bank of Texas (now Amegy Bank, N.A.). Steve has served on the boards of the Fort Bend Family YMCA, the Fort Bend Exchange Club and the Missouri City Business Alliance. He currently represents LoweryBank at the Greater Fort Bend County Economic Development Council, The Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce and as an associate member of the Fort Bend Society of Commercial Realtors. Steve and his wife, Kaye have four children and six grand-children. When not banking, he is enjoying his five-year membership in Fort Bend Fit, a Sugar Land based Marathon training group. While not a runner, he is a very fast “walker” and has completed three marathons including two New York City Marathons and numerous half-marathons. Steve invites you to stop by and meet his team of LoweryBankers at 16555 Southwest Freeway, Suite 100, Sugar Land, TX, 77479.
