Welcome to First Liberty Bank
Rooted in Oklahoma. Built on Relationships.
First Liberty Bank was founded on a simple idea: that banking should be personal, local, and deeply connected to the community. On October 2, 2006, six employees opened the doors at the former Jackie Cooper BMW dealership in Oklahoma City. The founding team—coaching legend Barry Switzer, country music artist Toby Keith, Norman business leader Hunter Miller, and Chief Executive Officer Joey Root—shared a vision for a bank that would serve people, not just accounts.
The original management team included experienced Oklahoma Bankers: Tammy Boatman served as Chief Credit Officer, Tammie Garrison as Chief Treasury Management Officer, and Sandy Bracken as Chief Financial Officer. In 2015, Scott Hughes joined as Chief Lending Officer. He later became Market President, leading our Dallas/Fort Worth operations under the First Lonestar Bank name. When Ms. Bracken retired in 2020, Keegan Grooms was appointed Chief Financial Officer. In 2022, Carlos Morales became Chief Information Security Officer, and Cathy Westmoreland was named Chief Operations Officer. In 2025, Michael Levine assumed the position of Chief Lending Officer, while Tammy Boatman was appointed as President and Chief Operating Officer.
Mission and Values
Today, First Liberty Bank serves the Greater Oklahoma City Metro, Norman, and the Dallas/Fort Worth areas. Our culture is grounded in three principles:
- We are Kind
- We are Genuine
- We Bend Over Backwards to Serve the Relationships We Establish
These aren't slogans—they reflect how we treat each other and the people we serve each and every day.
These values guide how we show up for our clients, colleagues, and communities. Whether it's a warm greeting in the lobby, a thoughtful solution to a complex need, or a quiet act of service behind the scenes, we believe that kindness and authenticity build trust—and trust is the foundation of everything we do.
Community Commitment
At First Liberty Bank, we believe in being responsible corporate citizens. Our commitment to charitable and civic organizations goes beyond financial contributions—we also give our time, volunteer our talents, and take on leadership roles within the community. Whether mentoring students at Positive Tomorrows, collecting diapers for Infant Crisis Services, supporting the OK Kids Korral, or providing snacks for Cavett Kids summer camp, our team shows up with heart and purpose. Staff are encouraged to engage with causes that matter to them personally, strengthening the communities we serve through meaningful involvement.
Growth and Expansion
Over the years, First Liberty Bank has grown thoughtfully. In 2016, we added a mortgage department. A second branch opened in Norman in 2018. In 2024, we expanded into Frisco, Texas, to be followed by a new Dallas location opening in 2026—both under the First Lonestar Bank name.
We remain committed to the communities we serve, the relationships we build, and the values we started with.
