About Us
RG BANK is headquartered in Monte Vista, Colorado. We have branches in Alamosa and Pagosa Springs. Together, these three locations serve the 8 southern Colorado counties of Rio Grande, Alamosa, Archuleta, Saguache, Conejos, Costilla, Mineral, and Hinsdale.
RG BANK is a mutually owned savings association. RG BANK prides itself on being committed to the mutual form of ownership, mutual meaning that the depositors and borrowers hold voting rights. The mutual form of ownership allows RG BANK to invest more into our communities with donations, memberships, and sponsorships; into the bank with facilities, equipment, software, services, and products; and, into our employees.
RG BANK has a formal name of RG BANK, a Savings and Loan Association, having “a Savings and Loan Association” in the name, as it is required by state law. We market ourselves to our customers and communities as RG BANK.
In 1905, the Association was founded as the Monte Vista Building Association and we still operate under that original bank charter. Then as now, true to the roots of a “Savings and Loan Association,” RG BANK is still driven by the tenet “neighbors helping neighbors.”

Baker began his banking career in 2011 working as a contractor to Bank of America. Due to Baker’s job being remote it afforded him the ability to move to the San Luis Valley to be closer to his parents. The majority of Baker’s career has been in management and customer service, and although it has been eclectic it has given him a solid understanding of the term servant leadership and how to apply that to the needs of the customer.
Baker graduated from the University of Phoenix with his MBA in 2012. His focus was on Project Management and Information Security Systems. He currently volunteers with Scouts BSA, including as Scoutmaster for Troop 307 for 9 years before stepping back and becoming the Chartered Organization Representative for troops 1307 and 307 as well as an Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 307.
Baker, his wife Amber, and their two children started a small hobby farm in 2016 where he spends his free time. He enjoys working with his family on projects around the farm, attending camping trips with the Scout Troops, and wandering in the mountains.

BOD Member Since 1990
Chuck began working for RG Bank in early 1975 as the association's first in-house appraiser. It wasn't too long before his duties began to include working as a loan officer. Within a couple of years it became obvious that Chuck could not fully function and perform both duties as appraising required a lot of time out of the office and the loan officer position required being in the office to serve borrowers. Chuck was given the option of either of the positions and he chose to be a loan officer as he saw more potential for advancement in that role.
In 1983, Chuck was appointed to the position of chief loan officer. During this period he promoted and oversaw the construction of both the Pagosa Springs and Alamosa branch offices.
Chuck was appointed President and CEO of the association in 1986. He became a member of the board of directors in 1990. Chuck retired from his management role in June of 2012, but has remained an active member of the board of directors since that time.
BOD Member Since 2018
