I began my career as a financial advisor with Edward Jones in 2017. I've built my practice by partnering with individuals, families and business owners, and truly getting to know them, so I can understand what is important to them. I see my relationships with my clients as partnerships that we will build and grow for their entire lives.
By educating, encouraging and empowering my clients, they are able to make financial decisions with confidence. I'm inspired every single day by the people I'm so lucky to work with and meet. I strive each day to provide an ideal client experience and am grateful for the opportunity to do so.
I am originally from Plant City, FL, home of the strawberry capital of the world. I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida (Go Knights!) with a bachelor's degree in finance and a certificate in investment management. I also hold the Accredited Asset Management Specialist™ designation.
Locally, I serve on the board of the Mount Holly Rotary Club and enjoy membership in the Charlotte City Club, Myers Park United Methodist Church, High Meadows Golf & Country Club and the Charlotte UCF Alumni Club.
Personally, I live in the Eastover neighborhood of Charlotte, NC, with my wife, Katherine. We enjoy spending time with family and friends, golf, pickleball, traveling, hiking and watching UCF and NC State athletics.
