This information below was from 2008 when he was a senior lender
PJ Wharton doesn't take himself too seriously.
"I'm a banker; it's my job to be boring," said Wharton, whose office is equipped with a gumball
machine and toys for the children who accompany their parents to the bank. "This is almost as
bad as going to the dentist's office. When the kids are in here, it's not a good time for them."
Whether aimed at his career as a banker or his hobby as a youth hockey coach and player ("I'm
short on skating skills, long on encouragement"), Wharton's self-deprecating humor is an
endearing quality.
Wharton is the senior lender at First National Bank of Steamboat Springs, where bank President
John Kerst said that a pretty admirable guy lies beneath the jokes.
"He's a good banker and also a family man and very involved in the community," Kerst said.
