Coon is a 30-year equipment finance veteran with extensive credit training and expertise in syndicating commercial finance transactions, product development and corporate expansion. He has held positions with Amur Equipment Finance, Lease Corporation of America and TAB Bank and is the immediate past president of the National Equipment Finance Association.

He will be responsible for negotiating and managing relationships with independent lessors, banks and captive finance companies.
