Christian Carlee Honored as Destin Chamber’s Business Person of the Quarter

Destin, Fla., April 14 – During the Destin Chamber’s April 11 Business Before Hours sponsored by CRC Data Technologies, Christian Carlee, Market President with First National Bank, was honored with the Chamber’s Business Person of the Quarter Award. This award is presented directly from the Chamber’s Board of Directors to a Destin area businessperson showing vision for his or her business and leadership in our community.

“I’ve known Christian for many years, watching him grow professionally and become a great business person and community leader. Those two things go hand-in-hand. He’s a Destin Forward graduate, a long-time volunteer and board member of the chamber, and someone who makes sure he and his employees stay active in the community. It’s a well-deserved recognition for him,” said Shane A. Moody, CCE, FCCP.

According to Carlee’s nomination form, “I can't begin to tell you how Christain has proven to be a leader in our Miramar office. Even while not knowing many of the customers personally, he goes out of his way to introduce himself and make everyone walking in the door feel welcome. Definitely community banking at its best.”

With 20 years of banking experience in the market, Carlee has been in his current role since July 2024. Prior to that, he was with Trustmark National Bank for many years. He is a past Destin Chamber Chairman of the Board, Immediate Past President of the Destin Rotary Club, and Past Vice President of A Bed 4 Me Foundation. He enjoys hunting, fishing, golfing, and diving and has been a local youth coach for baseball, soccer, and golf.
