President/CEO

Frederick Jewsome

With over 25 years of award-winning leadership experience, I’ve held senior management roles with respected financial institutions such as Arvest Bank, Citigroup, and Beneficial Inc./Household Finance, as well as General Manager and Finance & Insurance Manager positions across various organizations. Throughout my career, I’ve consistently demonstrated the ability to cultivate meaningful relationships—an essential driver of long-term, sustainable, and scalable success.

I specialize in strategic execution, operational excellence, and inspiring individuals and teams to reach their highest potential. Let me go to work for you.

I’m an Air Force brat from Topeka, Kansas, born at Forbes Field Air Force Base. I attended Seaman High School—go Vikings!—and went on to study at the University of Kansas from 1992 to 1994. I later earned my BA in Business and Marketing from Ottawa University and pursued MBA studies at Baker University. I’m an active member of both the Mercedes-Benz Club of America and its Kansas City chapter, as well as the KC Exotics Car Club. Outside of my professional interests, I’m a musician who enjoys boating, playing APA league pool, basketball, and spending time on the golf course. I also have a love for darts, pinball, and classic 1980s arcade games.
