What Others Are Saying

"When I met Tom, he came in and was such a personal gentlemen to me. It actually started with just a hand written note to come visit us because we’d like to be a partner with you as you expand your business. That was very important to me and it really showed a sense of involvement. "

"My experience was so positive working with Tom Torkelson and the staff for Altra here in Rochester that I have since moved my personal banking and my personal mortgage, as well as auto loan needs to Altra. It’s been great!"
