Adam Sands has built a name for himself in Colorado’s commercial financing and business banking industry. His expertise quickly propelled him into several leadership roles, ultimately leading to his appointment as Chief Banking Officer at FirstBank, one of the nation’s largest privately held and top-performing banks. Today, the company operates a $16.1 billion loan portfolio and is known as the state’s largest locally headquartered bank.

Thanks in part to Adam’s contributions to the bank’s overall growth strategy, FirstBank has successfully established itself as a leader in commercial lending. As a result, the bank contributed nearly $2 billion toward local businesses in 2023, helping fund some of Colorado’s most prominent developments and growing companies, including Union Station, Mission Ballroom, and Stanley Marketplace.

Adam’s commitment to fostering small business growth has led to FirstBank’s recognition as one of the Top Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 Lenders in Colorado. Additionally, Adam received multiple NAIOP Awards for his contributions to some of the state’s most high-profile developments and was recognized as Denver Business Journal’s 40 under 40 for his significant impact on the local nonprofit and business community.
