Dr. Lynn “Tut” Fuller is a fourth-generation banker who founded Capra Bank in 2022 in Iowa. Capra Bank has grown rapidly since its debut, reaching nearly $500 million in assets. By investing in elite talent and industry-leading technology, the bank sets itself apart from the competition.
Prior to founding Capra Bank, Dr. Fuller oversaw approximately half of the HTLF footprint—and roughly $10 billion in assets—as regional president. In this role, he led the fast-paced turnaround of three member banks and integration of HTLF’s largest acquisition. He previously served as President and CEO of Dubuque Bank & Trust, where he grew assets from $1.3 billion to $2.2 billion and drove the bank to be the most efficient one under the HTLF umbrella. Prior to working with HTLF, Fuller served as a team leader at Bain & Co., a top three global consultancy.
Fuller received his B.A. in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Business from the University of St. Thomas, summa cum laude, where he also was an Academic All-American in tennis. He earned his Medical Doctor Degree from the University of Michigan, while concurrently receiving his MBA from Michigan’s Ross School of Business, with high distinction.
Throughout these experiences, Fuller has taken pride in performing at the highest possible level, while cultivating leading cultures. He considers himself a lifelong learner and finds joy in the process of creating something unique and special.
Taking his wealth of family and personal banking experience, Fuller is building a bank that elevates its employees, clients, and the communities it serves. He believes that banking is a team sport, where an elite group of highly motivated bankers, locally empowered, and working with top technology will always beat individuals. Fuller knows that combining top-notch talent with modern technology can give clients the edge they deserve, while allowing employee and client ownership of Capra truly elevates all parties.
Fuller lives in Dubuque with his wife, Ali, and their three children. He’s an avid outdoorsman and adventurer, with a passion for exploring and viewing the world from a new perspective.
