In 2009, Burriss moved to Tampa, Fla., as a branch manager and small business banker for Regions before relocating back to Murfreesboro with Regions in 2012.

Regions operates five branch-banking offices in Murfreesboro, along with two additional branches in Smyrna and another location in La Vergne, all part of the vibrant I-24 corridor southeast of Nashville. Burriss said Rutherford County is an important market for Regions because it has its own vibrant ecosystem and ample economic opportunities.
“New businesses are moving here, existing businesses are expanding here, and multi-million-dollar mixed-use developments are under way here,” Burriss added. “We offer advantages such as lower costs of living and doing business, and we have impactful government and business leadership here. We also have a strong local identity that we’re proud to share with more and more people as they move into Rutherford County.”
Burriss will also oversee Regions’ strategy for community engagement in Murfreesboro. Regions prioritizes community-based initiatives that address three key priorities:
- Education and Workforce Readiness;
- Financial Wellness initiatives; and
- Economic and Community Development.
Burriss is a longtime supporter of United Way of South Central Tennessee and the American Heart Association. He currently serves on the City of Murfreesboro Pension Committee and is a past treasurer for the Murfreesboro City Schools Foundation. Burriss is a member and past president of Rutherford County Sportsman’s Club and a graduate of Leadership Rutherford.
“Regions has a high level of visibility here because we are deeply embedded in the community,” Burriss said. “We have a solid base of associates who are actively involved as volunteers and supporters for major local events and causes. So, our current and prospective clients see us out and about everywhere.”
Burriss plans to build on that goodwill as he leads in business and the community.
“Murfreesboro has that small-town feeling that lends itself well to relationship banking and client success,” Burriss says. “ I consider myself a servant-leader, here to help our customers succeed and our community thrive.”
