Forward Bank

Leah Brown has joined Forward Bank as a Mortgage Lender serving our locations in the Northwoods.

In joining the Mortgage Lending team, Brown will guide customers through the home buying and refinancing process. She will also work closely with other areas of Forward to uncover opportunities to strengthen the customer relationship and provide additional solutions.

“I have worked closely with different members of the Forward team throughout the years,” commented Leah Brown, Mortgage Lender at Forward Bank in St. Germain. “Seeing those colleagues and friends join this organization and start sharing the story made me want to know more. My purpose aligns well with Forward, and I can’t wait to see how we collectively can serve the businesses, community members, and new home buyers in the Northwoods.”

Brown has earned her bachelor’s in business administration from the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay with a major in Finance and minor in Economics. She has seven years of experience in the banking industry, most recently as a Mortgage Lender. Active in her communities, Brown is an affiliate member of the Northwoods Association of Realtors, as well as the Eagle River Lions Club.

When not at work or volunteering, Brown enjoys running marathons, hiking, reading, watching her 10-year-old daughter dance, and chasing after her 4-year-old son.

"Leah is a great addition to our Northwoods team and the group of Mortgage Lenders serving all of our communities," said Jake Weinand, VP/Northwoods Market President at Forward Bank. “She not only brings strong connections within the community but adds a new energy and perspective to the lending process.”
