He will oversee the bank’s introduction to the Greenville market including a loan production office.

Known as a community bank designed to meet the unique needs of business owners, First Community sees tremendous growth opportunities in the Upstate. “As the economy continues to improve and businesses look to expand, we want to be a resource for them,” said Mr. Potter. “Our loan production office is a great way for folks to get to know us and learn more about our distinct style of banking.”

Mr. Potter co-founded Greenville’s Summit National Bank in 1990, and served as its CEO from inception until it was sold to First Citizens Bank in 2005.  He joins two other Greenville residents, Tommy Johnson and Tommy Brown, already serving on the First Community Corporation board.
