Prior to his time Parrish, he worked as president, chief operating officer and chief financial officer for Southern Health and Rehabilitation.
Faircloth began his career in the banking industry with First Atlanta Bank in Americus and spent more than 20 years working at various levels, ending his banking career as vice president at CB&T Bank of Middle Georgia in Perry in 2001.
