I’m Eric Danforth and I’m a Business Banker with American Bank & Trust.

I grew up in Watertown, SD, before I attended South Dakota State University (SDSU) for my higher education. My beautiful wife, Katherine, and I were married in 2017 and welcomed our first born, Pierce, in August of 2020. Recently, we welcomed the arrival of our baby girl, Lily, on April 27^th. Outside of work, I most enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Whether we are golfing, on the lake, or travelling from place to place, spending time with them is one of the most important aspects of my life.

I know that every relationship, product, and/or service is not one size fits all. Our American Bank & Trust team and I work proactively to find ways to say ‘yes’ to your needs in a timely and structural manner that works for both sides. AB&T has a culture that has been established from the top down, with a work environment that makes things easy and exciting.

I want to ensure you are not alone when going through the process of startup, expansion, or even tossing around the idea of your own business. I will do my best to guide you in the right direction for your financial dreams. Even if those dreams require resources from outside of the bank, we will work together to find opportunities that you benefit you personally and the operations, development, and growth of your business.
