Change is on the horizon at 1st Manatee Bank, where area banker Jim Kuhlman has been president and CEO of the Parrish-based bank since last May.
Kuhlman, 59, came to 1st Manatee after founding Florida Shores Bank, which was sold to Pompano Beach-based Stonegate Bank in 2014. He also started Premier Community Bank of Florida in 1996.
His time at those banks was marked by success in assets and loan growth—even during the recession.
