It’s always exciting to add new members to our team. Here are some of the fresh faces at North Shore Bank.
Kenosha Main teller Eugene Fox was born and raised in Kenosha and previously worked for Amazon. Besides settling into his new position at North Shore Bank, he is teaching himself about investing and trading stocks and bonds. “I’ve always been interested in investing and don’t want to rely on only a job for income,” Eugene says. “I’m mostly investing for the long term and not doing a whole lot of trading yet.”
Payroll and benefits specialist Bernita Hardiman was born in East St. Louis, Illinois, but grew up in Milwaukee. “My mom moved here when I was 10 months old,” she says. She worked for nearly 20 years at Manpower, spending most of that time in payroll. “I am a #FootballChick,” Bernita says. “I love it — high school, college, and especially the NFL. Of course my favorite team is the Packers.” She is not a fan of the Bears or the Dallas Cowboys.
Bayshore universal banker Lauren LeVeque is from Anderson, Indiana. She and her husband moved to Milwaukee in September — “and I am loving it!” she says. Lauren was previously a full-time shift supervisor at Starbucks and is still there on weekends right now. She can play the piano and the flute. “I’ve been playing the piano since I was in elementary school — my grandpa taught me and my siblings,” she says. “I haven’t practiced in a while, because we didn’t move our piano up with us. I don’t keep up on the flute that much since junior high band.”
Sister Bay teller Marlese McEvoy is from the Madison area, but moved to Door County with her husband about a year ago. She previously worked at M&I Bank, which was bought by BMO Harris. She likes “all things fast — boating, motorcycling, snowmobiling.” The Eagle River/Three Lakes area is a favorite spot for snowmobiling, and Marlese and her husband often boat from Sister Bay to Chambers Island and then to Menominee, Michigan, for dinner at Dexter’s Bar and Grill. “We get the sunset cruise on the way back!”
Mortgage loan production manager Leo Spanuello is originally from Wauwatosa and previously worked for GSF Mortgage in Brookfield. He notes: “When my kids balk at doing their chores, I start singing to them. It works every time!” In fact, the threat itself is usually enough now. Back when vocals were actually necessary, Leo says, “My favorite choice of music was the ‘Thermos Song’ from the Steve Martin movie The Jerk.”
Brookfield Square teller Darlynee Vang is from Milwaukee and previously worked as a bingo floor clerk at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino. She had her first child — a daughter, Natalie — in April. They head out for a family camping trip this week. “Not too excited about all the mosquitos,” Darlynee says, “but I heard it is supposed to be good weather, which is a good thing!”
