Johnathan, Erin and their three children, Sebastian, Jocelyn & Tynan reside primarily in Gladstone, Missouri, but have maintained strong ties to Harrison County.

Johnathan joined BTC Bank as its Trust Officer and General Counsel on December 1, 2019.
Having spent his childhood and young adult life in Rural Missouri and having the benefit of practical experience in metropolitan and rural business markets, Johnathan L. Meyer brings the ability to offer counsel in areas of a complex nature while understanding the trials, tribulations and benefits of living in a rural community.
