Growing Our Team, Growing Our Community

FMS Bank is growing. Meet the two new faces joining our team and expanding the ways we serve businesses and families across Northern Colorado.

At FMS Bank, we’ve always believed that community banking is about people connecting with people. It starts with the greeting as you walk in the door. It extends to the conversations with neighbors who know you by name, and the questions and check-ins that come as you navigate life’s biggest financial milestones.

Every team member at FMS Bank is there not just to serve you, but to know you and support you as a member of this community.

And that commitment works best when the right people are in the room. As one of the leading community banks in Colorado, we’re excited to introduce two new team members bringing fresh expertise and deep care for the people and places we serve.\

 

Walker Drake, Portfolio Manager

After seven years in Denver, Walker Drake is coming home. A Creighton University graduate with a BSBA in Finance, Walker brings five years of financial industry experience to his new role as Portfolio Manager, including deep work in credit analysis and internal reporting. 

What brought him back home wasn’t just a job opportunity. It was community. He’s returning with his fiancée Sarah and their mini dachshund Boomie, ready to put down roots in the region that shaped him. 

Outside of work, Walker is a passionate hockey enthusiast who played for nine years and enjoys attending Avalanche and Eagles games. He is thrilled to be back and looks forward to contributing to the vibrant landscape of Northern Colorado.

 

Matt Hanson, Mortgage Lender

A Colorado native and one of the newest mortgage lenders serving the Northern Colorado area, Matt brings over a decade of experience guiding clients through home purchases and refinances. He works with a full range of loan programs including FHA, VA, and USDA loans, as well as construction loans for clients building from the ground up. 

His approach comes down to two things: clear communication and genuine care. Matt believes every client deserves to fully understand their options, not just what they’re signing, but why it’s the right fit. Whether you’re searching for home loans or exploring construction financing for a new build, he brings the knowledge and the patience to get you there.

A Colorado native born in Denver, Matt now lives in Northern Colorado with his wife and three sons. He fishes, skis, and camps. He understands this community because he’s actively a part of it.

 

At FMS Bank, we’re proud to have Walker and Matt on our team. If you’re looking for a community bank in Greeley, Fort Morgan, or anywhere across Northern Colorado that puts real people behind every relationship, we’d love to connect.
