Meet Brian Kern, Vice President of Commerical Lending for M&M Bank in Oak Brook, IL. We asked Brian five “get-acquainted” questions:

Q: What book had the most impact on you?
A: “The Wealth of Nations” by Adam Smith, a fundamental work in classical economics that touches upon division of labor, productivity and free markets. Also, “Never Die Easy” by Don Yeager, about Walter Payton, which taught me the following lessons: taking challenges headon, persevere and always put forth your best, no matter the odds.

Q: What’s the most interesting place you’ve visited?
A: Niagra Falls and Hoover Dam

Q: What is your favorite holiday?
A: Christmas – because I get to spend a lot of quality time with my family.

Q: What’s your favorite sports team?
A: Tie between the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Bulls.

Q: When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with?
A: People typically come to me for help when they are planning to make a large financial decision related to their business which may include, but is not limited to, the financing of growth, capital expenditure projects, strategic acquisitions, purchase of a new facility or expansion of an existing facility and/or succession planning.
