Becky Luzinski, VP, Commercial Lending
What was your very first job?
I had 2 paycheck jobs at the same time. I worked for a local farmer one summer, walking beans. I didn’t like that. It was very hot that summer, but short lived, thank God! I worked at the “Dairy Bar” in Mt. Pulaski all through high school and part-time after I graduated to help the owner out when she wasn’t available. I loved the Dairy Bar. I worked with school friends and we were having the best time of our lives, so we thought!
What’s your favorite way to spend a long weekend?
Going to our hunting property in Rushville. My husband has made this a great place for me to go and unplug, and enjoy nature and just relax. This is where I get to read a book and not have to worry about laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc. There is lots of wildlife: turkeys, deer, quail, raccoons, possums, ground hogs, bobcats, coyotes, lots of birds, and then there are the ones I don’t really care for—snakes, ticks, spiders. Very peaceful. I was never a hunter until about 4 years ago. He purchased a cross bow for me and then he built me 2 enclosed blinds that have windows, heat, carpet, all the amenities a girl might need. New this past year is a tiny home that he has built and is almost completed. We are really going to enjoy that when it is finally 100% done.

If you had to choose something you had to eat every single day for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
Pasta, I love pasta.
What’s your favorite way to spend a long weekend?
Doing anything with my family; having one son away at college now, it makes the time we spend together more valuable.
Jenni Snow, AVP, Human Resources
If you could take an unlimited, all-expenses-paid vacation, where would you go and why?
I would go to Hawaii. It’s a place I have always wanted to travel to. It is such a beautiful place from all the pictures I’ve seen, from the beaches and waterfalls to the beautiful flowers and perfect weather year-round.
What was your very first job?
My first job was at Knight’s Action Park. I loved working there. It was my first experience working with money as a cashier. I would get to see a lot of my friends while I was working, and would also get to swim for free on my days off. It was the best summer job for a 15-year-old.
Natalie Cain, AVP, Branch Manager
What’s your favorite lunch spot near work and why?
I love Chaditos. They serve a variety of Mexican dishes. The food is fresh and quick. They serve fish tacos on M-W-F, that’s my favorite.
What was your very first job?
My first job was at Springfield Christian School when I was 15. Every day after school, I went there to essentially babysit the kids until their parents came to pick them up. It was a great way for me to learn responsibility. Then for two summers, I did the summer camp program. It was a lot of fun. We went on field trips a few times a week and it was neat learning about the kids.
What job did you want to have when you were a kid, and why?
Marine Biologist, because I love animals.
