We may be a little past Couple’s Day, but we’re keeping the celebration going by spotlighting a duo who knows what it means to be partners both at home and at work.

Today we are spotlighting Garrett Greaves, a Network Administrator, and Laney Greaves, a Regional Teller, from our Lake City Financial Center.

Garrett and Laney have been married for almost two years, and they’re not just partners at home, they’re coworkers, too! Their favorite part about working together? Getting to have lunch together every day.

Laney says, “As a Regional Teller, I am always happy to go the extra mile to help other branches and meet customers from all locations and walks of life, from the big cities to the retirement communities.”

Garrett says, “I enjoy being able to work with a business that has such a large impact on our local communities.”

When they’re not at work, Garrett and Laney love floating the river, camping, and road-tripping across the country. We’re so happy to have this friendly face duo on our team.

Here’s to Garrett and Laney, a great team at work and an even better team at home!
