When I joined UTFCU (University of Toledo Federal Credit Union) as President and CEO in 2023, I knew I was stepping into something special. This credit union has been serving the University of Toledo community since 1964, and I’m honored to continue that legacy.

Our Story
Sixty years ago, 13 people believed in something simple: members helping members. They founded T.U.T. Federal Credit Union with limited resources but unlimited enthusiasm. In 1976, we became University of Toledo Federal Credit Union and expanded our services. Today, we serve over 6,700 members nationwide.
Who We Serve
We’re a credit union for the University of Toledo family. If you’re a student, faculty member, staff member, physician, alumni association member, or a family member of any of these groups, you can join us. It’s that straightforward.
What We Offer
We provide everything you need for your financial life:
- Checking and savings accounts
- Auto loans with competitive rates
- Home equity lines of credit
- Credit cards with zero liability protection
- Student loans designed for college expenses
- Personal loans for whatever life throws at you
You can bank with us through our mobile app, online, or visit our campus locations. We’re at the main Hill Avenue office, Mulford Library, and the Lancelot Thompson Student Union.
The Difference
As a not-for-profit cooperative, we work differently than big banks. We return our earnings to you through better rates and lower fees. That means more money in your pocket. We recently added residual-based auto financing to help members manage today’s higher vehicle costs. That’s what being member-focused means to me.
My Commitment
I’m a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and a University of Toledo graduate myself. I understand this community because I’m part of it. Along with our talented team including Chief Operations Officer Shawna Misiuda, Chief Financial Officer Nicole Farris, and Vice President of Lending Bev Trost, we’re committed to serving you with integrity and innovation.
Our Board of Directors, led by Chairman Tom Trimble, guides us with wisdom and experience. Together, we’re building on 60 years of success while looking forward to the future.
Conclusion
From 13 members to over 6,700. From limited services to full-spectrum banking. From a small campus office to managing approximately $100 million in assets. That’s our story, but more importantly, it’s your story.
Every day, I see how UTFCU makes a difference in people’s lives. Students opening their first accounts. Faculty members buying homes. Alumni investing in their futures. That’s what drives me and our entire team.
