Notă biografică
Tree began his banking career at United Virginia Bank, then moved to First &Merchants Bank and Bank of America, later founding Monarch Bank, serving as president, CEO and director. Tree’s community service includes chairman of the Four Cities United Way, president of ODU’s Educational Foundation, board vice chairman of Cape Henry Collegiate School, chairman of the Eastern Virginia Medical School Foundation, chairman of the Virginia Beach Neptune Festival, and board president of the Chesapeake Bay Wine Classic Foundation.
His honors include 2010 Business Hallof Fame, the John Krueger Outstanding Volunteer Award, Horizons HR Roast & Toast Honoree and Norfolk’s Outstanding Young Man of the Year. Tree served on the vestry at Galilee Church and now serves and attends Spring Branch Community Church.
He was married to Virginia (Ginna) and has two sons, Will and Ben, and two dogs. He resided at the North End of Virginia Beach.
Extras
I do not want this to be considered a “cancer book,” though there is a section dedicated to the topic, which I hope will be helpful to anyone who finds it relevant. But my illness has influenced this project in some ways, much as it has “influenced” just about everything else in my life! Primarily, the fact that the cancer moved into my brain “created more immediate deadlines,” so to speak. So I fast-tracked this project from the original post-retirement timeframe of about four years hence.
And here we are.
I hope you enjoy this memoir, and from the bottom of my heart I thank all of you who contributed to it, either directly ߝ by sharing your thoughts in these pages and on the website ߝ or “between the lines” by being part of my life. God bless you all.
