2026 Chamber Chair
Ryan Austin
First National Bank of Oklahoma · Market President
Introducing...
Ryan was born in Kansas and moved to Newkirk at the age of five, where he later graduated from Newkirk High School. He earned an Associate’s degree in Business Administration from Northern Oklahoma College and continued his education at the University of Central Oklahoma, obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.
Following graduation, Ryan began his professional career with Oak Tree National before returning to Ponca City in 2004 to build both his career and his family. In November 2004, he joined First National Bank of Oklahoma as a Consumer Lender. Through his strong work ethic, leadership, and extensive knowledge of consumer and commercial lending, Ryan steadily advanced within the organization. Over the years, he developed broad expertise in credit analysis, relationship management, and community-focused banking solutions. In recognition of his leadership and banking insight, he was promoted to Market President in 2015, a role in which he continues to guide strategic growth while supporting customers and the community.
Ryan is a proud dad of two sons: Hunter, a college sophomore, and Blake, a senior at Ponca City High School. Outside of work, he enjoys golfing, supporting OSU athletics, and spending quality time with his family.
Throughout his tenure at First National Bank of Oklahoma, Ryan has remained deeply involved in the Ponca City community and the Chamber of Commerce. His service has included roles on the Chamber Board of Directors, the Finance Committee, and the Ambassadors program, as well as participation in other community organizations over the years. In addition, he currently serves on the University Center Board as the 2026 Chair and is also a graduate of Leadership Ponca City, Class of 2006.
Ryan is passionate about giving back to the community both personally and professionally. He believes that meaningful progress is achieved when businesses, organizations, and individuals work together toward a common goal, an approach reflected in his theme for 2026: Partners in Progress. His goal is to continue strengthening partnerships with the community and investors to help guide the Ponca City Chamber into the future. Ponca City has benefited from strong leadership over the years, and Ryan is committed to building upon that foundation while continuing the Chamber’s positive momentum.
