Today, we celebrate the unbreakable bond between siblings by shining a spotlight on our very own CEO and President banking brothers, Todd and Steve Zaun! Their partnership is a testament to the power of sibling relationships, where trust, support, and mutual respect drive success.
F&M has been part of the Zaun family for nearly 40 years, a legacy started by their father, Dennis in 1990. That year he purchased Farmers & Merchants State Bank of Pierz, along with two partners, beginning his second career as a community banker. Known for his strong work ethic, independent mind and generous spirit, the brothers agree that their dad set a great example to follow. Todd took over for Dennis in 2008, with Steve becoming President earlier this year.
The two are majority shareholders, share a deep love and affinity for community banking, and enjoy being able to see the direct impact the bank’s work and efforts. For them, banking is not only about carrying on their family’s legacy, it’s about ensuring continuity, security and financial well-being for the farmers, small business, families and communities Farmers & Merchants State Bank supports and serves.
