Alpine Bank Rifle recently announced the promotions of Larry Stewart, who has been named assistant vice president/manager of the Rifle branch, and Kevin Flohr, who has been promoted to banking officer upon his successful completion of management training. Kevin will serve loan customers at Alpine Bank Rifle.

“It’s gratifying to have Larry and Kevin in their new leadership roles in Rifle,” said Jay Rickstrew, Alpine Bank regional president for the Colorado River Valley, according to a release. 

“They bring talent, education and experience. But most importantly they bring a high level of community engagement and involvement, and that’s what defines the Alpine Bank culture.”

Stewart has 18 years of banking experience, having led 45 branches of Woodforest National Bank in Indiana before joining Alpine Bank in 2019. His leadership skills were advanced with continuing professional education through the Bank Operations Institute, a program of the Independent Bankers Association of Texas.
