Sean Puckett is a Vice President with Mechanics Bank. Mechanics Bank’s strategic merger with California Republic Bank produced California’s preeminent community bank. Mechanics Bank provides personal banking, business banking, trust, and estate services, brokerage and wealth management services through thirty-three offices across Northern California.

Richard and Sean discuss banking concerns of medium-sized businesses and how smaller community banks offer advantages over large corporate banks by saving the business time and money. They also discuss the effects of the tax cuts on businesses and the current business sentiment.

In addition to his banking duties, Sean is heavily involved in the Boys to Men Mentoring program. Sunday, September 21, 2019, will be the tenth anniversary of the 100 Wave Challenge to raise funds in support of the Boys to Men Mentoring program. Hundreds of surfers will hit the water at Mission Beach in San Diego, CA. The goal is for each surfer to attempt to catch 100 waves in one day and raise $1,000 for Boys to Men Mentoring.
