Lincoln Savings Bank (LSB) is proud to announce that a member of our staff will be hosting Iowa Public Television’s “Market to Market” program.  Mike Pearson will be stepping in as host for the weekly program, following in his father’s footsteps.  Mike’s father, Mark Pearson, had hosted the program for 20 years prior to his death in June.  Mike’s knowledge of farming, business and banking, combined with experience in broadcasting, make him an ideal successor to his father.

“I’m thrilled and honored to take the reins of Market to Market”, states Mike Pearson, “For almost 40 years, folks in rural America have tuned in for trusted advice on the commodity markets, and I’m excited for the opportunity to keep building that trust.” Mike will continue to work at LSB, providing excellent service to his customers, in addition to his new role as host of Market to Market.

Mike has been with LSB for 18 months, first as a Mortgage Lender, and most recently as an Agricultural Relationship Manager and Mortgage Lender.  Upon graduation from High School in 2003, he managed his family’s grain and livestock agribusiness operation and also worked for WOI Radio in Ames.  After graduating from Simpson College, Mike moved to Grinnell with his wife Heidi to start his banking career. Congratulations Mike for continuing LSB’s century-long commitment to being a leader in agriculture!
