“Phil Whitehead and Blackhawk Bank have been really great to work with. Once Phil understood the 504 Program and benefits, he leveraged that knowledge to help grow the bank by targeting a specific industry that was in growth mode. Despite a lot of road miles for site visits he always has a smile on his face and is passionate about helping small business owners,” Nick said. Congratulations, Phil!
