A seasoned operations and finance professional, Chapman has amassed an extensive, diverse career in banking, agri-business, and healthcare. A graduate of Mississippi State University with a degree in Finance, he began his career in commercial banking, spending 18 years specializing in branch management and large commercial loan development.
