I grew up in the rural West Texas town of McCamey and graduated from McCamey High School in 1994. I attended West Texas A&M University where I earned a BS in agriculture business and economics in 1999. While at WT, I met the love of my life, Denia, and we were married in 2002. We have been blessed with three wonderful children: Brianna Nicole, Breyden Sebastian and Bristol Faith. Denia is a Dyslexia therapist for Dumas ISD. As a family, we enjoy church, traveling, boating, snow skiing and most outdoor activities. I especially enjoy BBQing for family, friends and charity.

Growing up around the West Texas oil fields, my work experience is diverse. I have worked extensively in agriculture, including on ranches, feed yards, packing houses and grain elevators. I was also a certified crop advisor, commercial applicator and manager, and am very comfortable in the Texas Panhandle discussing all things oil and agriculture related.

In 2003, I accepted a position with Edward Jones as a financial advisor and took over a branch office in Dumas. While at Edward Jones, I earned the AAMS™ designation and am now a limited partner in the firm. Throughout my investment career, I have held numerous leadership roles throughout my region and seized the opportunity to train many other financial advisors along the way. Currently, I am serving as an Edward Jones Grassroots Taskforce Financial Advisor Chairman for the State of Texas. I have enjoyed many successes over the years as a financial advisor, but none are more important than partnering with and watching my clients succeed in their financial goals.

In addition to my family and career, I am honored to serve as mayor of Dumas, Texas. I take immense pride in serving the community that has so richly blessed me and my family. I've also served as the president of the Dumas Rotary Club, Dumas Noon Lions and Dumas Moore County United Way. Currently, I am serving as treasurer for the Dumas Economic Development Corporation, as well as serving on numerous other boards, committees and organizations. My wife and I love serving others and giving back to local youth charities and organizations. I look forward to the continued opportunity to serve my clients, my community and my firm.
