Ronald R. Weigle II

Market President

Ron joined Synovus in August 2017 as the market leader for Middle Georgia. “Math was always one of my favorite subjects, and in college my goal was to learn as much as I could about finance and what makes businesses successful,” says Ron. After graduating with a BBA and a minor in Finance from Georgia College & State University, he became a banker. Now 17 years later, Ron has worked with hundreds of business owners to understand the nuances of their businesses and to become their strategic financial partner. Ron and his wife live in Warner Robins; they have two children.

Andy joined Synovus because “I saw an opportunity to serve the interests and needs of the agricultural community that I’m deeply passionate about,” he says. “I love helping farmers and agri-businesses achieve their goals, and Synovus has given me the tools and environment to do that.”

Andy is a native of middle Georgia, born in Byromville and currently residing in Vienna, where he lives with his wife and two children. When he’s not helping area farmers and local businesses with their financial needs, Andy enjoys hunting, fishing, and boating — just about any outdoor activity.
