FSB Insight with David Parkey, VP
David W. Parkey, First State Bank’s new Vice President, has lived in this area his whole life with his family ranch originating in Archer County in 1882. When First State Bank’s Olney branch opened in May of 2014 they were without a designated, full time branch manager or officer. Having attended college at Tarleton State University and Texas Christian University, he was a perfect fit for the job. The Parkey’s already felt a close connection to Olney, having transferred their oldest daughter from Archer City to Olney Elementary in 2007 to enroll in the Scottish Rite Take Flight dyslexia program. In Addition, the Parkeys two youngest children were both born at Olney’s Hamilton Hospital. In 2019, Parkey decided to take that step and fill the position of Vice President. “We are very much at home in these small communities and servicing our customers and that’s where we (First State Bank) fit. All of our people are small town local people and this is where we want to be,” Parkey stated.
