Western AgCredit is excited to announce that Lane Gardiner, currently a loan officer in the Richfield Branch, has accepted the position of Roosevelt branch manager. This transition will take place over the coming months before the retirement of current branch manager, Don Fitzgerald.

“I’m excited for this new opportunity to work with the people of the Uintah Basin. The area reminds me of many of the small towns in Wyoming I love and where my young family spent nearly ten years,” said Lane. “We feel blessed to become a part of the agricultural community in such a beautiful part of the world.”

Lane joined the Richfield Branch as a loan officer in September of 2014. A graduate of Utah State University, Lane went on to complete a master’s degree in agricultural and applied economics at the University of Wyoming. Following graduation, he went to work in management for a cattle feeder in Idaho. After this, he worked on a ranch where his duties included procurement of feeder and grass cattle and marketing fat cattle. He also provided hedging, financial projections and annual budgets and directed the breeding program for replacement heifers. Lane’s work experience and in-depth knowledge of the cattle business will be an asset to the cattlemen in the Uintah Basin.

Lane grew up in Heber City, Utah. Lane and his wife, Jesika, and their two boys are excited to relocate to the Roosevelt area. In his spare time, Lane enjoys hunting, mechanics, horse riding, skiing and spending time with his family.
