Advisor Spotlight Q2 2026

In this edition of our Advisor Spotlight, we are proud to introduce two key leaders who embody the expertise and heart of Stock Yards Bank & Trust. While they serve our clients from different regions—Lynn in Louisville and Jason in Cincinnati—they share a singular mission: providing the clarity and guidance you need to secure your financial future.

Whether it is navigating the intricacies of employer-sponsored retirement plans or crafting a comprehensive personal financial roadmap, Lynn and Jason bring decades of experience and a "boutique" level of personal service to the families and businesses we serve.

Read on to learn more about their professional journeys, their best pieces of financial advice, and what keeps them motivated outside the office.

Advisor Spotlight: Lynn B. Land

With a career in banking stretching back to 1990 and over 30 years specifically dedicated to retirement plans, Lynn is a cornerstone of our wealth management team. This May, she celebrates 14 years with the bank—a tenure marked by her commitment to shaping how we support plan sponsors and their employees.

Lynn’s approach to retirement planning is both comprehensive and deeply personal. Holding a Finance degree from Eastern Kentucky University alongside her life and health insurance licenses, she combines technical expertise with a genuine passion for financial literacy. For Lynn, the most rewarding part of her role is the long-term impact she has on a client’s future. "The opportunity to help employees understand the importance of saving is incredibly meaningful to me," she says. "Helping someone reach their retirement goals is what keeps me motivated every day."

When asked for her best piece of advice, Lynn’s message is simple yet powerful: just start. Whether you are early in your career or closer to retirement, she emphasizes that the act of enrolling is the most important step. "It doesn’t matter if you contribute a little or a lot to start with," Lynn notes. "Your future self will thank you!"

Outside of the office, Lynn is a proud "Louisvillian" who enjoys the vibrant local community. You can often find her cheering on Louisville City FC at Lynn Family Stadium or relaxing on the golf course. Most of all, she treasures time with her husband, Jeff; their two adult sons, Thomas and Jacob; her future daughter-in-law, Julie; and their beloved rescue dogs, Ginger and Olive—not to mention their “granddog,” Amos.

Advisor Spotlight: Jason Hamilton, CFP^®

Jason Hamilton is our Financial Planning Services Manager based in Cincinnati. With over 20 years of experience in the investment management world—including the last 11 years right here at Stock Yards Bank—Jason brings a wealth of expertise and a deeply personal approach to helping families navigate their financial futures.

Jason’s path to financial planning was shaped by a genuine passion for building meaningful client relationships. He earned his degree from the University of Cincinnati and completed his Certificate in Financial Planning (CFP^®) through Xavier University. After nearly a decade of experience at other institutions, Jason found his professional home at Stock Yards Bank. "I was intrigued by the boutique feel of the bank," Jason shares. "It’s full of great people who truly care about the families they serve."

Specializing in retirement, estate, and education planning, Jason is motivated by seeing clients successfully reach their long-term milestones. When asked for his best piece of financial wisdom, his advice is timeless: "The single best investment is in yourself. Beyond that, spend less than you earn and invest the difference."

Outside the office, Jason is a fixture in the Cincinnati community. Originally from Philadelphia, he has spent years serving on the Dan Beard Council, the Boy Scouts of America and has been a key member of the Festival of Fireworks planning committee since 2013.

Family is at the heart of everything Jason does. He and his wife, Megan, have been married for 19 years and are kept busy by their two teenagers, Matthew and Libby. Whether he’s coaching their teams, cheering from the sidelines, or heading West for a family ski trip, Jason stays active. Rounding out the household is Mika, the family dog, who Jason jokingly admits sits at the very top of the family hierarchy.
