Growing up in Central Texas and spending the last 30 years in rural Oklahoma, I have learned many lessons. One of the most important lessons is to "leave it better than you found it". This motivates me daily to commit to a life of service that is reflected in my family, business and community.

As such, I am deeply involved with Sara's project, a crisis management group and child advocacy center. I also serve on the Jefferson Co. Hospital board, as well as volunteer with other organizations in southern Oklahoma, including Chambers of Commerce and Lions Club.

My wife and best friend, Malane, and I live in Ringling where she manages our ranch and also works on the family ranch that runs three generations deep. In our spare time, we enjoy watching nieces and nephews in their activities, running, college sports and traveling. I also enjoy hunting and fishing.

Since 2005, I have focused on helping individuals, families and business owners develop and implement strategies specifically tailored to accomplish the goals that are most important to them. Our team works closely with you and your other trusted professionals to address all of your financial and non-financial needs, such as insurance protection strategies, personal and business retirement strategies, wealth transfer, college education funding and more.

As a graduate of Baylor University (BBA) and Midwestern State University (MS-PE), I developed a desire to learn that keeps me informed on the ever-evolving field of financial strategies.

My Senior Branch Office Administrator is Crystal Sparks. Also a limited partner with the firm with a tenure of over 20 years, Crystal is devoted to providing excellent service to our clients. Crystal and her husband, Dusty, live in Lone Grove and together have four daughters, a son and five grandchildren.
