Tom Cilek’s New Best Friend: Steve West

If you’ve been in the Corridor business community for even a short time, you already know Tom Cilek. He’s a vice president at a bank, a former lawyer and one of the Corridor’s most connected business leaders. He loves making new friends, and making things happen in Eastern Iowa.

We’ve decided to capture Tom’s inside conversations with the region’s leading business minds in a new monthly podcast, “Tom Cilek’s New Best Friend,” presented by (his employer) West Bank. This month, Tom sits down with Steve West, chairman of Coralville-based West Music and “the Kirk Ferentz of music,” for a conversation about his family’s beginnings in the industry, moving the needle on music accessibility and giving back to the Corridor.
