I have been blessed with a 50-year career in the trust business, especially the past 30 years leading The Trust Company of Kansas. I have witnessed many changes in the fiduciary world and take great pride in surrounding myself with a competent and dedicated team of professionals seeing us through each and every up and down.

When I reflect on the past, I treasure personal relationships with so many clients whom I call my friends. These are friendships I will continue to cherish as I change my role at The Trust Company of Kansas (TCK). I am extremely proud that so many have met my successor, my son, Christopher M. English. Effective Jan. 1, 2021, Chris will take over my CEO responsibilities, and I will remain chairman of the board. Retirement is in my future, but I am not quite ready. I love what I do every day, and I want to continue serving my friends. 
