We are happy to announce our new Treasurer and member of our Tahoe-Pyramid Trail Board, Michael Hix. He has an amazing background working with a variety of organizations and we are fortunate to have him join us with his finance background.

When asked what drew him to the TPT, he replied “I joined the Board of the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail to help advance a project that brings people together. The Trail connects Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake, but more importantly, it connects communities, families, and visitors to the outdoors. I’m proud to support an initiative that enhances quality of life and showcases the incredible landscape we’re fortunate to call home.”

Michael is the Northern Nevada Regional President for Meadows Bank, bringing more than 35 years of experience in banking and commercial lending. Throughout his career, he has held a variety of leadership and operational roles, including credit analyst, loan officer, and branch administrator with several Northern Nevada financial institutions.

Michael holds a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Nevada, Reno, and is a graduate of the National Commercial Lending School at the University of Oklahoma and the Pacific Coast Banking School at the University of Washington.

Highly engaged in the community, Michael serves on the boards of Secret Witness, the University of Nevada Small Business Development Center Advisory Board, and the Reno-Sparks Chamber of Commerce. He also dedicates his time to the UNR Alumni Association, Note-Able Music Therapy Services, and the Nevada Bar Association.

Michael and his wife, Stephanie, a retired educator with the Washoe County School District, have two daughters who are both proud graduates of the University of Nevada, Reno.
