Park Ridge

Tim Savoca Senior Vice President & Chief Credit Officer

Erik Ambrus Vice President, Market Manager

Erik Ambrus, the manager of our new Park Ridge branch, grew up in nearby Mount Prospect and still lives there. Erik is a great blend of interests. His BA from Northeastern Illinois is in English. He’s an outdoorsman, has toured all over the US, and hiked a majority of our National Parks. He’s also an avid fisherman, going to the Hayward, WI area since he was a kid, fishing for the elusive Muskie. And although he’s a NW side guy, he’s a serious White Sox fan. Very serious.

Erik has literally learned banking from the ground up. He began his career as a teller at Washington Mutual Bank in 2006, rising to Senior Banker by 2009. At MB Financial from ’09 to ’19, he was eventually responsible for multiple branches. We were lucky to “land” Erik in 2019. (Apologies for the fishing analogy.) Erik served on our Business Banking team for several years and will now run the Park Ridge branch.

Stop by Park Ridge and meet Erik! Swap fish stories! Talk baseball! And Banking!

Daniel Adler Assistant Branch Manager

Danny Adler is known as the go-to guy for creative solutions to small business, commercial and retail banking questions. Danny solves problems and gets things done. And as a result, has very happy clients.

Danny launched his banking career at MB Financial in 2011 and grew through multiple assignments in all facets of the business. He became a Lakesider in 2020 and is now the Assistant Branch Manager at our newest branch, Park Ridge.

He began his college education at NYU, studying acting, and graduated from Northeastern Illinois with a BA in history. Danny remains a history (and science) fan, reading textbooks for fun! He’s a Chicago guy through and through and loves exploring the city. He’s big on travel, and dotes on his wife Victoria, son Jacob (with a second son on the way!) and dog Ringo. He also takes great pride in his garden. And he’s a very loyal White Sox guy who loves to tailgate before games. Stop by and meet Danny, soon!
