Miles Callahan began his career at Compass Bank (now BBVA Compass) in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2003 as a small business banking specialist. Miles spent six years with Compass before moving to Nashville in 2009 to work for First Tennessee Bank and US Bank. At both banks, Mr. Callahan found success as a business relationship manager, meeting the lending, treasury, and advisory needs of small and medium sized businesses. Mr. Callahan previously served with the Williamson County Community Housing Partnership on its Business Banking Advisory Board.

In discussing the additions of Messer’s Usmani and Callahan to the Heritage Bank team, John Peck, President and CEO of the Bank and the Company stated, “We are excited to open a loan production office with Sam and Miles, who bring a high level of experience in the Nashville market. They are proven, highly successful bankers and we are looking forward to the contributions both will make to Heritage Bank.
