“We're a small, big city where families and businesses can thrive and experience growth, but also strongly connect with the community as a whole. It's common to make some great business deals during the week, then get invited to that client's family BBQ or crawfish boil that very weekend. That's the close-knit culture that I love about Baton Rouge.”
