M
ath and computations have always fascinated
Glenn Davis.
As he reflected in his Middletown office on
his extensive career in finance, the dapper vice presi-
dent for community development at Liberty Bank said
it wasn't really the numbers that engaged him as a child.
"I like solving problems," Davis said. "What's
intriguing for me is working through the process. I
love successful outcomes. As an economic develop-
ment person what is refreshing is that you can leave a
legacy that you were able to solve a problem that led
to significant change. At the end of the day, economic
development is about taking nothing and turning it
into something.''
The Windsor resident's mornings start at about
5 a.m. with prayer, walking the family dog and then
breakfast. He is normally at his Main Street branch
a little after 8 a.m.; leaves around 5:30 p.m. — and
usually works another two hours in his home office.
Davis leads a three-person team tasked with mak-
ing investments and providing resources to empower
low-and-moderate income communities. In addition to
his VP duties, Davis is also the bank's Community Rein-
vestment Act officer, making sure that loans and mort-
gages are made available to underserved communities.

flow through his office, including investments in
nonprofits, lending to homebuyers, neighborhood
