CAZENOVIA — Cazenovia College announced that two Syracuse businessmen, Joseph F. Serbun and Marc Jones, have recently joined its board of trustees.
Serbun is executive VP and chief banking officer at Community Bank, N.A. The 35-year banking-industry veteran has been with Community Bank since 2008 and previously spent 23 years in senior management positions at Partners Trust Bank and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank.
A lifelong resident of the Syracuse area, Serbun earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from SUNY Oneonta. He has been active in a number of community organizations, including 20-plus years as chairman of the loan committee for the Greater Syracuse Business Development Corporation.
Jones is the “visionary” and principal behind Dreissig Apparel Inc. and Fan Hands LLC, the college said. He was born and raised in Syracuse and graduated from Christian Brothers Academy as an all-state and all-Northeast U.S. running back his senior year. Jones played football at the University of Tennessee, where in 1991, he graduated with a degree in psychology.
Jones next played professionally in the German Football League. In 1999, he founded his business, Dreissig Athletic. The company designs and manufacturers Jones’ own brand of athletic apparel. In 2007, he also invented a novelty product called Fan Hands, which is designed to enhance the sound of the clap for sports fans when they attend sporting events.
