\"\"Chris Privon and his wife, Maryjane, didn\u2019t plan on moving to the Wood River Valley. But they\u2019re glad that this is where their journey has led them.
\n\u201cThe community has been very welcoming,\u201d Chris said. \u201cWithin the first eight months, I feel like I\u2019ve met the whole Wood River Valley.\u201d
\nChris is originally from Eagle and he and his wife were happily living in the Treasure Valley when he got asked to fill in at Wells Fargo in Ketchum. After a few weeks of working at the local bank by day, staying at the Fairfield Inn weeknights and going back home to visit his wife and their dogs on the weekends, Chris decided to apply for the branch manager position. He got the job.
\n\u201cFrom helping out for a few weeks to moving here a moth later, this certainly wasn\u2019t planned,\u201d Chris said. \u201cBut I\u2019m glad it happened.\u201d
\nThe Privons made the move from Kuna out to Croy Canyon west of Hailey. Having such easy access to the great outdoors is one of their favorite parts of calling the Wood River Valley home.
\n\u201cThe fact that I can wander out my door with the dogs and get lost for hours, hiking, it\u2019s one of the best experiences I\u2019ve had,\u201d Chris said, adding, \u201cYou can\u2019t take a bad picture around here. Every direction you look is beautiful.\u201d
\nOne of the other big appeals of life in the Wood River Valley for the Privons is the sense of community.
\n\u201cPeople here appreciate if you\u2019re going to contribute to the community and that\u2019s what I try to do at Wells Fargo,\u201d he said.
\nChris has been with Wells Fargo for over a decade, starting as a teller, then working as a personal banker and small-business banker before becoming a branch manager. While Wells Fargo was once making the news with some unsavory headlines, Chris is proud of the way the bank has evolved from its previous issues.
\n\u201cBecause of everything that happened, we\u2019ve really adapted to become the best bank you can be with,\u201d Chris said. \u201cOur bank is customer-centric and customer-focused.\u201d
\nOne of the advantages of the Ketchum branch of Wells Fargo, Chris explained, is that it offers all the resources of a large bank while still providing personal and friendly service.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s our job to be the cog in the machine to help locals and small businesses tap into all a large bank can offer,\u201d Chris said. \u201cIt\u2019s really about putting our customers first and figuring out what we can do to make their financial lives better.\u201d
\nMost people find that moving to the Wood River Valley makes their lives better. Our community is always ready to accept new people who want to be a positive part of what we have going on around here. Chris and Maryjane are just such people.
\n\u201cThe pace of life here suits us well,\u201d Chris said. \u201cThere\u2019s a sense of belonging here that you don\u2019t get in big cities.\u201d<\/p>\n
