Michael Kimbrell Joins Citizens National Bank

Jeff King, West Mississippi Regional President for Citizens National Bank, is pleased to announce that Michael Kimbrell has joined the Bank as Rankin County Market President. With 29 years of banking experience, Kimbrell has an extensive background in both retail and commercial banking. He began his career with Deposit Guaranty National Bank as a teller in 1990 and was promoted in 1994 to serve as a lender and manager of several branch locations in the Columbus and Jackson areas until 1998.

His next 18 years of service in the banking industry were with BankPlus.  While Kimbrell originally joined BankPlus as a Branch Manager and Lender, the majority of his experience with the Bank was in the area of commercial lending.  After receiving several promotions at Bank Plus, he was ultimately promoted to serve as President of the Bank's Rankin County Division, where he managed seven locations and over 50 staff members.

For the past three years, Kimbrell has been employed as a Commercial Lender and Senior Vice President with BankFirst Financial Services. 

Jeff King commented as follows:  "The wealth of knowledge and experience that Michael has in all areas of commercial banking, along with his excellent reputation for providing quality service to his customers, strengthens our presence in the Rankin County market.  Michael is also recognized for his contributions to the civic and charitable services in his community; and with his leadership, we look forward to continuing our commitment to participate in the growth and development of this vital area of the state."

Kimbrell serves as both a Treasurer and Board Member of the Board of The Catholic Foundation in Jackson.  In addition, he serves on the board of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Miss., and is active in the Rankin County and Flowood Chambers of Commerce.  A graduate of Mississippi State University, Kimbrell received his Bachelor’s of Business Administration degree in 1993, and completed studies at The Graduate School of Banking at LSU in 2010.

He and his wife, Terri, attend St. Paul Catholic Church in Flowood.
