Nashville, Tenn. (July 17, 2023) – Fourth Capital, a leading community bank in Middle Tennessee, has announced Ryan Phinny as the bank’s new Vice President (VP) of Sports & Entertainment. Phinny joins Fourth Capital after a successful career as a professional racer where he represented numerous major brands and businesses. Phinny will focus on growing deposit relationships for the bank with a particular focus on the sports and entertainment industries intertwined throughout the Nashville community.
“When Ryan and I discussed the idea of being a part of our team, it was with the intention of building something special for our community and clients,” said Brian Heinrichs, CEO of Fourth Capital. “As a professional athlete, Ryan brings a unique expertise to our team that allows us to expand our offerings in Middle Tennessee and better serve the music, entertainment, and sports professionals and businesses that have helped Music City become what it is today. We’re fortunate to have him and look forward to the exciting opportunities ahead under his leadership.”

I’m thrilled to be on this new adventure with Fourth Capital and being a part of a bank that’s committed to one of the strongest communities in the US—Nashville,” said Ryan Phinny, VP of Sports & Entertainment. “This is an ideal opportunity for me to bring my professional sports and entertainment experience to Fourth Capital so that our bank can better help both athletes and businesses like myself along with strengthening our capabilities to serve the legendary music and entertainment industry here in Nashville.
