On Friday, the heart of our community came alive with the sounds of laughter, music, and celebration. This year’s R Bank Tailgate was more than just a gathering—it was a heartfelt tribute to a man whose vision and leadership have left an indelible mark on our bank and community: Steve Stapp.Honoring a Legacy of Service and Leadership
Steve Stapp, the former President and CEO of R Bank, has been at the helm of our journey for the past 15 years, steering us from a single location with 12 employees to 10 locations with over 150 dedicated team members. His vision wasn’t just about building a bank; it was about creating a place where relationships thrive and where every customer is known by name. Steve’s approach to banking has always been deeply rooted in integrity, community service, and a genuine commitment to doing the right thing for the right reason in every situation.
Steve’s leadership style has empowered employees, emphasizing the importance of decision-making and fostering a culture of giving back. He has not only been a leader but also a mentor, inspiring others to see the value in community-driven banking. His belief that R Bank’s success comes from assembling the best team of community bankers has shaped the bank into what it is today—a place where relationships matter most.
A Community Celebration Like No Other
This year’s tailgate was a celebration of not just Steve’s contributions but also of the vibrant community that R Bank proudly serves. The event brought together friends, neighbors, and families—those who have journeyed with us and who continue to support us through every season of growth. The tailgate was a perfect reflection of the values that Steve and R Bank hold dear: community, relationships, and genuine care for one another.
Looking Ahead with Gratitude
As we celebrated Steve’s legacy, we were reminded of the importance of continuing his mission—fostering connections, supporting our neighbors, and being there for one another. Under the leadership of Todd Engemoen, who has seamlessly stepped into his role as President and CEO, R Bank remains committed to upholding the values that Steve instilled from day one. We are excited to build on this strong foundation, continuing to serve our communities with the same passion and dedication. We extend our deepest gratitude to Steve Stapp for his incredible contributions and leadership. His impact on R Bank and the Round Rock community is immeasurable.
Thank You to Our Community
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for this special celebration. Your presence, support, and enthusiasm are what make events like this so meaningful. As we look toward the future, we are excited to continue this journey together—banking on relationships, celebrating milestones, and building a brighter community side by side.
Here’s to many more years of community, connection, and continued success. And here’s to Steve Stapp—a leader, visionary, and friend.
