How it all started 
The Pieper name has been synonymous with banking in Eastern Colorado since 1918 when Albert L. Pieper came to work at Farmers State Bank. At that time, A.L. Pieper probably didn’t realize he would start a family legacy spanning three generations. In 1928, A.L. and a partner bought controlling interest in the bank and A.L. later served as the president from 1961 until his death in 1967

The Second Generation
A.L.’s son, John, joined the bank in 1952.  John, known as “Nap,” has seen vast changes in the banking industry. He realizes the importance of technology, yet continues to stress customer service. After all, that’s what has gotten the bank to where it is today. Nap served as president from 1974 to 1986 and is now the chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.

The Legacy Continues
The Pieper clan has deep roots in banking and strives to keep its independent family-owned and operated business focused on helping its community grow and remain prosperous. Today the family is as much a part of the bank as before. Daughter Joan Lawson joined the bank in 1980 and serves as a Board Member and Co-President. Son Randy Pieper came aboard in 1989 as a Board Member and is now the Chief Financial Officer and Co-President. Nap’s wife D.A, daughter Candy Enix and son John A. Pieper are all active members of the FSB Board of Directors. The family works together to keep standards high.
