We’re excited to welcome a familiar face to a new role in the Tea community — Kevin Nissen has joined American Bank & Trust as our newest Business Development Officer, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have him on board!

Kevin brings with him more than two decades of experience serving the City of Tea as the Planning and Zoning Administrator, where he played a key role in shaping the city’s growth and development. Over his 21-year tenure, Kevin worked closely with developers, business owners, and residents on projects of all sizes — building not just infrastructure, but strong relationships along the way.

As a Tea resident for over 30 years, Kevin has a deep understanding of the community’s unique needs and opportunities. His transition to American Bank & Trust is a natural next step in his journey of service — this time, helping local businesses and individuals reach their financial goals with the same dedication and care he’s known for.

But Kevin’s story doesn’t stop at city planning or banking. He’s a proud SDSU Jackrabbit, originally from Pierson, Iowa, and a passionate family man. He and his wife are proud parents of two and doting grandparents to three and a half grandchildren (yes — one’s on the way!). When he’s not working, you might find Kevin fishing, hunting, golfing, brewing his own beer, or tending to his salsa garden.

Kevin’s approachable personality, deep local roots, and commitment to community make him a perfect fit for AB&T. If you’re in the Tea area, be sure to stop by our branch and say hello — Kevin is ready to help you grow your business, expand your network, and navigate your financial journey with confidence.
