John D. Steinmetz

John David Steinmetz is an American banking executive. He currently works at NBH Bank, and was formerly the chief executive of Vista Bank until NBH Bank acquired it in 2026.

Early life and education Steinmetz spent his childhood in Fort Worth, Texas. He attended Texas Tech University, where he graduated from the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business in 2002 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in finance.

Out of college, Steinmetz had lined up a promising job in New York City with Bear Stearns, which at the time in the early 2000s was one of the 10 biggest investment banks in the world. However, a hiring freeze there changed those plans. Instead, Steinmetz opted to take an unpaid internship with the White House in Washington, D.C. He became the first person outside of the founding family to lead the institution and helped expand the bank's operations in Florida and throughout Texas.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Steinmetz oversaw Vista Bank's involvement with the federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Vista Bank became one of the initial 13 banks in Texas to join the U.S. Federal Reserve's Main Street Lending Program.

A merger agreement between Vista Bank and National Bank Holdings Corporation was announced in September 2025. Once the acquisition officially closed in January 2026, Steinmetz became NBH Bank's Executive Managing Director and Executive Vice Chair.

He has also served on the Cotton Bowl's Board of Directors and the budget and finance committee for the Dallas Museum of Art.

Personal life Steinmetz and his wife have two children together.
