Notable Commercial Banking Leaders: Joe Porter

Class of 2024

As a senior vice president at Oak Creek-based Tri City National Bank – with more than 30 years of experience – Joe Porter’s role is to manage his client base as well as create new commercial banking relationships.

Porter’s commercial real estate lending focuses on new construction, commercial buildings, industrial properties, office buildings, retail centers, multifamily buildings, land acquisition, commercial and residential land development and other specialized real estate.

In the past 18 months, Porter has been involved in the consideration of financing for more than $30 million in commercial properties, many of which created new job opportunities. He says he made the conscious decision to work for a community bank that understands and wants to serve the needs of the community.

“Joe is always a great source of financing information and bank procedures,” said Ted Klumb, a realtor at Coldwell Banker Realty. “We recommend him to our clients who tell us they will recommend him. He always goes the extra mile to get deals to the finish line. He is very trustworthy and reliable.”
