History In 2007, John D. Steinmetz began working for Vista Bank and eventually became the bank's chief executive. He became the first person outside of the founding family to lead the institution and helped expand the bank's operations in Florida and throughout Texas.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Steinmetz oversaw Vista Bank's involvement with the federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Vista Bank became one of the initial 13 banks in Texas to join the U.S. Federal Reserve's Main Street Lending Program.
A merger agreement between Vista Bank and National Bank Holdings Corporation was announced in September 2025. Once the acquisition officially closed in January 2026, Steinmetz became NBH Bank's Executive Managing Director and Executive Vice Chair.
