Tyler Anderson
I was born and raised in Washington, MO and feel extremely lucky to have been.  After attending Missouri State University, I briefly moved to St. Louis but once I met my wife Kelsey, I knew I wanted to move back to Washington to start a family.  Currently my two daughter, Lola and Lennon attend St Francis Borgia Grade School like I did. 
This community was a major part of shaping the person I am.  I have met so many great people and friends here and was taught from an early age by my parents that volunteering and giving back was a way of life.  I am currently a AVP and loan officer with Citizens Bank in town and love helping small business and individuals achieve their goals through my job.  I recently just finished a 3-year term on the board at Franklin County Country Club where I served as the VP of the board. 
In my spare time I love to golf, hunt and fish.  I enjoy these activities because they can be done by all ages and let me enjoy time with my family outdoors.  ​

Jeff Holtmeier
I was born and raised in Washington. I attended St. Francis Borgia Grade School and High School and then graduated from Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau.
 After college I moved to St. Louis and into the finance industry starting at Edward Jones. I moved back to Washington with my wife Jamie in 2013. I’ve been in the finance industry for over a decade, helping people and businesses reach their financial goals.
 In 2022 my partners and I moved our practice to the independent channel and opened our own firm. I am proud to be a Partner at Finteris Wealth Management, a local wealth management firm, located on 5th Street next to the Elks. The move from W-2 employee to small business owner has had its challenges but has also been very rewarding.
 I’ve sat on several boards including Franklin County Area United Way, Elijah’s Limited, Downtown Washington, Washington Public Library, and Washington Senior Citizen Housing Development Corporation, among others.  I have been a member of the Elks, St. Francis Borgia Athletic Association, the Knights of Columbus, Jaycees, and St. Francis Borgia Parish. I spend my free time with my family. My daughters Penny (8) and Violet (5) are very active and keep me busy. I enjoy sports, golfing, boating, and various outdoor activities.
 I have always been a fan of the Chamber of Commerce and the work they do in the business community.  I believe our town has a unique sense of comradery.  I think that is, in no small part, due to the feeling of pride local businesses and groups, like the Chamber, instill in our community. I would be proud to be a member of the Chamber Board.

Family is at the heart of Jeb’s life. He and his wife—who serves as the math curriculum coordinator for the Washington School District—have been married for 19 years and are proud parents of two children: Kyan, a sophomore at the University of Missouri studying electrical engineering, and Ria, a sophomore at Borgia High School.
