Fritz has been with Pennian Bank for 14 years and has served as president and CEO for the last nine years.
He is proud that the 157 year-old community bank has tripled in asset size since he joined Pennian Bank in 2007.”We have been able to successfully grow in an organic, sustainable manner while never losing sight of our obligations to our stakeholders, who include our shareholders, employees, customers, and community,” Fritz said.
Important life lesson he’s learned: Failure is good. “We try so hard in life to avoid failure, but it is real evidence that we’ve had the courage to try. If you avoid failure, you avoid taking action. Expect and accept that failing is part of life’s experience. Learn from it, grow from it and move on,” he said.
Fritz enjoys traveling. “Travel expands you. Travel makes life more interesting. It is an experience that I can share with my family and friends. It expands you, enlightens you and teaches you about the variety of people, lifestyles and cultures across our nation and around the world,” he said
