It’s always exciting to add new members to our team. Here are some of the fresh faces at North Shore Bank.

Pewaukee personal banker Brett Brilowski is from Waukesha. His mother and sister own the Sweet Tooth bakery in Milwaukee’s Walker’s Point neighborhood, and he previously worked with them. Brett says, “I have two siblings, and each of our first names starts with Br — my younger brother’s name is Brock, and my older sister is Brianna. And all five members of my family are Marquette alums. Go, Warriors/Golden Eagles!”

Menasha teller Brandon Ferris is originally from Illinois. “I was in the military, so I’ve lived in seven different states and touched my foot down in all except Alaska and Hawaii,” he says. He was previously a personal banker with JPMorgan Chase. “I’m the best dad in the world!” Brandon says. “I’m into extreme exercising: 40.44 miles biking, 12 miles hiking (in one session last summer), and currently training for my first 5K.”

Southridge assistant branch manager–sales Cassandra James was born and raised in Milwaukee. “My boyfriend and I just bought a house here, so I don’t plan on going anywhere soon!” she notes. She has been in banking for over six years and was previously a loan officer at Summit Credit Union. “I love camping and anything outdoors,” Cassandra says. “My boyfriend and I bought a two-person kayak this winter and cannot wait to take it camping with us. We have a goal to visit five different state parks this year!”

Video teller Kayleigh Marshall is from Milwaukee and previously worked as an infant room teacher; before that, she was an assistant manager at another financial institution. “I’ve been acting since I was 5. I act in plays all the time,” she says. Her favorite role was playing the Wicked Witch in a production of The Wizard of Oz. “It gave me a chance to have a more serious role. I’m used to playing funny, goofy roles, and this gave me an opportunity to show off my other skills.”

Systems analyst Bryan Peters is from the Waukesha area and lives in West Allis now. He was previously a desktop/application specialist at Zero Zone Inc. in North Prairie, a refrigeration company that makes coolers and freezers for grocery and convenience stores. “I’ve got a crazy 2-year-old daughter who my girlfriend and I love hanging out with when we’re at home,” Bryan says. “Her name is Madelyn, but she goes by Maddy, unless she’s in trouble!”

Sturgeon Bay teller Pavel Petkov is a native of Bulgaria. His family moved to the United States back in 2006 and became citizens, and they now live in Sturgeon Bay. He previously worked as a grocery store manager. “I like to go to the movies, to spend time with my family, and to go to water parks,” Pavel says. “My favorite is Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells.”

Shorewood teller Richard Wamboldt is from New Berlin and previously worked at Northwestern Mutual. He is also a student at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where he’s studying finance. But, Richard notes: “My kitten Felix is my pride and joy. I have had him since June of last year and he is the first kitten I’ve owned on my own!”
