I was born and raised in the Hickory part of Chesapeake and graduated from Grassfield High School. I attended Hood College in Frederick, MD, where I received my bachelor's degree in finance and I also met my wife, Jillian, who is now an attorney at Thompson Law Group in Virginia Beach. While attending Hood, I played four years of NCAA lacrosse and I take the lessons that I learned as an athlete and leader and apply those to my financial practice.

In 2018, I was excited that Edward Jones gave me the opportunity to return to Chesapeake to work and serve this wonderful community that was such a big part of my upbringing. My father opened the first Edward Jones office in Chesapeake back in 1992, making Edward Jones an integral part of my life. It is an honor to continue the family tradition of serving my clients and cultivating those relationships as well as becoming a true part of the Chesapeake community.

Constantly expanding my knowledge base is important to me because it allows me to stay on top of economic trends, legislative changes, and other areas that might affect my clients long term strategies. Because of this I attained both my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) certification and Chartered Financial Consultant® (ChFC®) designation so that I can better serve my clients while helping them achieve their goals.

I am resolute about what I do both professionally and in the community. I am passionate about helping others, be it with my clients at Edward Jones or serving in various capacities within my community as listed below.
