Mark Heinemann came to community banking from an unusual place: selling cell phones from a kiosk in a South Dakota mall.
Although originally intending to spend less than a year at Farmers State Bank of Hartland, Minn., Heinemann ended up making a career of it, buying the bank last year with Daniel Otten, the man responsible for bringing him on board in 2004.
