Robert Marin named CEO at Patterson State Bank

Board Chairman of Bill Marin of Patterson State Bank has announced that his son, Robert Marin, has recently been elected to the CEO position of both Patterson State Bank and Patterson BancShares, the holding company of PSB. The election took place at the recent annual stockholder meeting.

Robert Marin has been on the Board of Directors at Patterson State Bank since 2000 and has been the chief lending officer since 2007. Before becoming a fourth generation PSB banker, he practiced law in the federal courts of Lafayette, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, Alexandria and Fort Polk. He graduated from Patterson High School in 1985, received his bachelor’s degree from LSU in 1993, and his law degree from Southern in 1997. He passed the bar exam in 1997 and continues to hold an active law license. Robert Marin has accumulated over 120 hours of bank counsel continuing legal education since 2007.

“I’m honored and humbled that the stockholders, board and employees of PSB have continued to entrust me with these responsibilities, and that I am a part of my family’s PSB history," Marin said. "I’ve now had two separate and distinct careers, but the basic concept of helping others has always been the common thread for me. Getting together with our customers and helping them find solutions to their business needs — to me, that’s the best. I find that to be truly rewarding.”

Robert Marin has been an active volunteer in community youth sports, having coached teams in Dixie Youth Baseball, AYSO Soccer, Babe Ruth Softball and Berwick youth softball recreational leagues. He proudly served his alma mater as assistant coach for the PHS Lumberjill softball team from 2016 through 2019, and was then named head coach for the Jills’ 2020 season. He has also served as the board secretary for the Wedell-Williams Aviation and Cypress Sawmill Museum Foundation since 2010.
