River City Bank Continues its North Bay Expansion With Former Heritage Bank of Commerce SVP Seth Shorett

River City Bank expands its commercial banking team in the North Bay region with the addition of Seth Shorett as Vice President, Senior Portfolio Manager. In collaboration with Market President Jim Kimball and recently announced Market Manager David Casassa, Shorett will be responsible for expanding the bank’s commercial banking presence through underwriting, business development and credit portfolio management for business clients in Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties. He brings more than 18 years of experience in the commercial banking and real estate industries, having most recently managed accounts as Senior Vice President, Relationship Manager at Heritage Bank of Commerce.

“Collective resilience and support are the driving forces behind commercial success in the North Bay, and our growing team is already deeply rooted in the local landscape,” said Steve Fleming, President and CEO of River City Bank. “We are pleased to welcome Seth to our team, and we look forward to strengthening our ties in the region as a result of his community oriented and client-first mentality.”

“The most important part of the banking experience, whether you’re working with an individual or a business, is the relationship, and that personal approach is the River City Bank team’s greatest strength,” said Seth Shorett, Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager for the North Bay at River City Bank. “As a longtime resident of the North Bay, I’m excited to help drive investment in our communities and produce growth for local businesses in all sectors.”

As SVP, Relationship Manager with Heritage Bank of Commerce, Shorett managed commercial accounts and underwriting across the portfolio, including C&I, CRE, construction, non-profit and asset-based lending. He came into his role at Heritage Bank of Commerce while aiding its acquisition of Presidio Bank, where he had spent nearly a decade contributing to the growth of Presidio’s asset size to $950 million. Heritage Bank’s acquisition of Presidio Bank was finalized in 2019.

Born and raised in San Bernardino, Shorett graduated with Highest Honors with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Economics from the University of California, Santa Barbara. After graduating, he moved to San Diego and entered the real estate industry, where he earned his broker’s license and started his own property management company. Shorett changed career paths in 2006 upon moving to the Bay Area and securing a position with Bank of Marin. He lives in Novato with his wife and two children, where he sits on the boards of North Marin Community Services, the Novato Chamber and Marin Builders Association. When not in the office, he divides his time between volunteering in the community, spending time with his family, working on his truck, and heading outdoors to camp, hike or go off-roading.
