I am a lifelong resident of Louisiana, growing up in Houma and moved to the greater Baton Rouge area in 2008. I graduated from Nicholls State University in 2002. After graduating I went to work in the oil and gas industry. I started out as an equipment operator and quickly worked my way into the safety department. My career in safety grew for 16 years. In 2019, I felt the need to make a change. An opportunity with Edward Jones presented itself and after careful consideration and many long talks with my wife, I decided to take the leap.
As a financial advisor, I understand that money is very personal. That's why I always want to understand what is most important to you when it comes to your financial future. I take the time to get to know you and your family and then use an established process to build personalized strategies to help you work toward achieving your goals and partner with you to help keep you on track. Together we will work to achieve your goals.
Today I am a family man with a wife and three beautiful daughters. I enjoy the outdoors, especially teaching my daughters to fish and during the fall, I can often be found in the woods hunting. I also enjoy LSU football, exercising and attending St. George Catholic Church with my family.
