Classification Speech: Brandon Diviak

 

Brandon Diviak aspired from a young age to get involved in investment and finance; he took a long route into the profession, but wound up working on behalf of Resource Bank...helping its customers with their financial needs.

 

Brandon is originally from Buffalo, and spent his teen years developing a keen interest in investments and the stock market; a year of community college led him to apply to Northern Illinois University, where he earned a degree in finance.  He worked at an auto parts store during his teen years, and wound up working similar jobs while in DeKalb; he eventually latched onto a job at Resource Bank, and earlier this year moved into the investment department.

 

Brandon says he heard a lot about Rotary from his colleague Dave McCann, and finally accepted his invitation to see the club...and eventually get involved.  He says he joined because he's interested in giving back to the community, and sees Rotary as one of the best ways to make a tangible difference.
