Where is Fred Van Etten? In Houston, Texas Thank you and your readers for your interest in what I have been doing since I departed First Sierra/Sierracities.com. As you and many of your readers may remember, The Redstone Group was the seed capital that helped us start First Sierra in 1994. Redstone which is a privately held conglomerate has ownership and investments in a myriad of different entities which included Northwest Bank and Redstone Bank, both here in Houston. I joined Redstone in March of 2001 and was EVP of Business Development of Northwest Bank until we sold it to The Whitney Bank in October 0f 2001. Since then I have been working on the business development and strategic direction of Redstone Bank. We are excited about the prospects for the Bank and the Holding company and are considering several options to help it grow. I miss all my friends and colleagues in the Leasing business and in light of "The Perfect Storm" hitting the industry I sincerely hope that prospects are better for you all in 2002. Best regards, Fred Van Etten Executive Vice President Redstone Bank N.A. 713-316-3675 Fvanetten@redstonebank.com |
