Meet Kegan Sharp
Kegan Sharp, River City Bank’s newest VP and Business Development Officer, brings a relationship‑driven approach to helping commercial real estate clients and business owners move their plans forward with the right financing. A San Diego native, Kegan once pursued his dream of playing professional baseball, competing at the Division I level at San Diego State University under Padre legend Tony Gwynn, where he learned the value of preparation, patience, and timing.
