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

Northside’s new teller supervisor, Kelly Elliott, is from Racine and previously worked in retail management. “My family and I are all avid PC gamers,” she says. “We build our own computers.” Her favorite game is World of Warcraft.

Video teller manager Justin Kasten is from Lake Geneva and previously worked at a smaller financial institution in Racine County, helping oversee retail banking sales and operations. He and his wife have a 4-year-old son. “We love spending time outside with friends and family,” he says. “In the summer, we try to spend most of our free time finding different adventures we can go on! We love traveling, tubing and boating, and bonfires!”

Southridge teller Don Mahnke grew up in Wauwatosa and now lives in Franklin. He was previously at OneTouchPoint for 18 years, where he was VP finance. ” I love to cook — and eat,” he says. “I enjoy all types of cuisine, but I like my food to have heat. I am a ‘chilihead’ with a collection of well over 500 empty bottles of consumed hot sauce. I learned how to cook from my neighbor and mentor who led a cavalry regiment in World War II — he learned to cook because he couldn’t stomach the regiment cook’s food. His mantra was ‘If your meal doesn’t make you sweat, you’re not enjoying your food.'”
