Ben Flencher

Bluebonnet Chairman Ben Flencher belongs to a community banking legacy initiated by his father, who worked at Somerville's Citizens State Bank for 60 years. Ervin Flencher Sr. began his financial career as a janitor and bought stock in the company.

Eventually, Ervin rose to president and CEO. His namesake, Ben, who would go to the bank every day after school as a child to roll coins and file checks, officially began working for the bank in 8th grade.
