Neil McCurry targets ambitious long-term objectives at Sarasota-based Sabal Palm Bank, but his personal day-to-day goal is decidedly more modest.

The daily aspiration: McCurry wants to introduce the bank and its services every day to at least one person who has never heard of it. When that happens, McCurry, who led a $5.6 million capital raise for the bank last year and is now CEO, goes home happy.

“There are no fireworks yet,” says McCurry, who invested $252,000 of his own money in Sabal Palm. “But this isn't about overnight success. It's a slow and steady process.”
