FBA STAFF SPOTLIGHT

Name: Brian Hickey Title: Director of Partner Relations & Associate Membership At FBA since: December 1, 2021 Education: Florida State University Hometown: Tallahassee

Describe your role for the FBA. As Director of Partner Relations & Associate Membership, I am working to connect our member banks with partners who provide quality resources to make bankers’ lives easier. Favorite thing about the FBA? The team. In my brief time here, they have been so welcoming and enjoyable to work with. It was immediately evident the team enjoyed the work, each other, and the bankers they work for. How do you spend your free time? I enjoy playing golf with my son and friends (not that I am very good at it). It is a great sport that leaves you wanting more. What’s your favorite book? My favorite author is Nelson DeMille and the character John Corey. DeMille has a new book coming out in October that I am looking forward to reading. I also enjoy history, especially WWII.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? I love to travel, experience new cities and old favorites as well. Chicago in the summer is one of my favorites that I am looking forward to getting back to. A getaway golf trip is always a fun experience — especially with a new course and community to enjoy. Do you have pets? Winston is my four-year old goldendoodle. He brings so much joy to the family and always keeps us laughing. He has so much personality and loves people. He will greet you at the door with such enthusiasm, whether you have been gone for 3 days or 30 minutes.
