Scott Noskowiak joined Pulaski Bank in June after six years running Guaranty Bank’s mortgage department. He’s hired a loan assistant, and three loan officers are joining in the next month, he said. Coming from a mortgage department that produced $70 million to $90 million in annual loans, Noskowiak said the Pulaski Bank team is projecting roughly $50 million in first-year loan volume. He said the loan office is an affiliate of the national Homes for Heroes program, which gives discounts to military veterans, fire and police personnel, teachers and health care workers. Grown out of 9/11, Homes for Heroes partners with Realtors and lenders, and Noskowiak said he is one of four participants in the Springfield market.
