Premier Service Bank Hires
Robert Botkin From Business Bank of California
July 29, 2002, Riverside, California.

Premier Service Bank has recently hired Robert Botkin, former Vice President and Branch Manager for the Business Bank of California, as their new Vice President. Mr. Botkin has held similar principal management positions with major California banks and several independent banks over the past twelve years. His responsibilities at Premier Service Bank include managing account relationships primarily involving lending and cash management and offering Premier Service Bank’s services to business clients that have specific borrowing requirements.

Mr. Botkin was drawn to Premier Service Bank because of the reputation of the bank’s principals, particularly Kerry Pendergast, CEO and President of Premier Service Bank. He explains, “I have had the opportunity to be associated with Kerry and knew his philosophy of service to clients and his qualities as a leader. I enjoyed working with him then, and since joining the bank, have found that the same collegial environment and professionalism exists within Premier Service Bank.” He sees Premier Service Bank as poised to become, “a meaningful partner in the Riverside and Inland Empire business community.”

Robert Botkin graduated from the University of Redlands with a BS in Business Management and from California Baptist University with a MBA. He has been married for eight years to his wife, Cynthia. They have two children and three grandchildren.
