Meet the New Negaunee Branch Manager

We’re excited to introduce David Wiegand III as the new Branch Manager at Embers Credit Union’s Negaunee location! With a dynamic professional background, a passion for outdoor adventures, and a dedication to creating positive member experiences, David is ready to bring energy and expertise to the Negaunee community.

From Florida to the Heart of the Upper Peninsula

Originally from Florida, David’s life has been defined by exploration and adaptability. He’s lived in Mexico, Texas, and Florida before ultimately finding his way to the UP, which he has called home since his younger years. Along the way, he’s embraced every opportunity to learn and grow—a theme that underpins both his personal life and professional path.

David’s enthusiasm for serving people and delivering results can be felt in the way he approaches his new role. His wealth of experience and commitment to excellence make him a natural fit for Embers, where building genuine relationships is at the core of everything we do.

Passionate About UP Living

To David, the Upper Peninsula isn’t just where he lives—it’s where he thrives. His favorite spot? His camp in Republic, where he spends time surrounded by the peace and beauty of nature. It’s the perfect setting for his outdoor hobbies, which include golfing, boating, bow hunting, and snowboarding.

From warm summer days spent hitting the greens or cruising the water, to chilly winters carving trails through fresh snow, David embraces every season to its fullest. No matter the activity, his appreciation for the outdoors echoes the adventurous spirit of the UP.

When it comes to refueling after an action-packed day, David’s favorite comfort food is a true classic—Coney dogs.

Excited to Lead the Negaunee Team

While David brings extensive experience and knowledge to his role, it’s his enthusiasm for the culture and values at Embers that shines brightest. “I’m most excited to be part of such a positive and established organization with a team of amazing people,” he shares.

David is eager to foster meaningful connections within the Negaunee community and is committed to ensuring members feel like they’re part of something special. He values collaboration, transparency, and providing the kind of personalized service that sets Embers apart.
