Derrick Bash and Jerson Leon, from Southwest Heritage Bank, gave a talk on banking to the students at Sacramento School of Engineering & Science.

Derrick, a native of Alamogordo, has been with the bank for over 16 years. He runs a children’s theater with his best friend and wife, Heather. In his free time, he loves working with his hands and is a builder at heart. He works with wood, has a 3D printing business and is now a DIY welder!

Jerson is originally from Utah. He and his family have been here for 3 years now and has been at the bank for over 2 years. Jerson and his wife lead a youth group at their local church. He and his family like to stay active and are always out and about. They love to hike, travel and running/jogging.

Derrick and Jerson spoke to the kids about three main topics –

1. Exploring banking careers

2. Fraud awareness

3. Building credit for teens

There was a good discussion, fun games and a lot of great questions. This was their first time at SSES and experienced the widely known hospitality of the staff and students.
