"I am excited to be part of Access National,” Dane said. "There is no other community bank headquartered in Virginia that can deliver the same level of industry expertise and client-focused service.”

He is a native of the Tri-Cities area and later went to study at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. He holds an MBA from the Sawyer School of Management at Suffolk University in Boston.

Dane began his banking career with BB&T in its Management Development Program and subsequently placed as a Small Business Banker at their branch in Chester, Virginia.

As his career progressed, Dane worked at other community banks in the Richmond area as a Commercial Lender and Special Assets Officer before electing to work in Correspondent Banking at Community Bankers’ Bank in Midlothian, Virginia.

Outside of banking, Dane was appointed by then Gov. Bob McDonnell to the Virginia College Building Authority, which provides financing for capital projects and educational equipment for state higher education institutions and a "conduit financing mechanism” for private, nonprofit higher education institutions. He now serves as vice chair.

"Access National and Middleburg pride themselves on being community-focused banks,” said David Leudemann, EVP, Commercial Banking for Middleburg. "John’s from Richmond and understands the needs of this diverse community. That, coupled with his invaluable industry expertise, will benefit current and prospective Richmond-based clients as Access and Middleburg move forward post-merger.”

In addition to his industry repertoire, Dane currently serves on the Commonwealth Catholic Charities Board and the Partnership for Families Board. He is also a member of the River City Rotary, previously serving as the organization's Charter President.

Dane resides in Midlothian with his wife, Maria, and sons Gavin, 7, and Sullivan, 18 months.

"As a native of Richmond, I know the Access National model will be well-received by many Richmond businesses,” Dane said, "both big and small.”

Access National Bank was founded in 1999 by professional bankers and business people. It is an independent, nationally chartered bank based in Reston, Virginia that serves the Greater Washington DC Metropolitan area. In April 2017, the merger with Middleburg Bank (founded in 1924) was completed, creating Virginia’s premier bank with enhanced scale, improved efficiency and a well-diversified business model. Access National Bank is a subsidiary of Access National Corporation and trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "ANCX.” Additional information is available at AccessNationalBank.com.
