I was educated as a mechanical engineer at Texas A&M University and began a career as a construction engineer in 1988 with HB Zachry in San Antonio. I worked on industrial projects for several years until going to work as a design engineer with a chemical engineering company in Houston in 1990. After earning a P.E license and because I was a bachelor, I spent the 90s traveling the globe designing, building and starting up petrochemical and refinery facilities. This life allowed me to immerse myself in cultures around the world. It was an experience that I am grateful to have lived, but in 1999 I reconnected with my soulmate, Jennifer, and everything changed for the better.

I left my career in Houston, married and took a position as chief engineer with a Fort Worth manufacturing company to begin my family. It was in Fort Worth that I found my calling in 2004 as a financial advisor and went to work with Edward Jones. This has allowed me to do something I truly love - run my own practice and connect with and serve my clients. My career with this firm has allowed me to settle down, raise four children and have the freedom to actively participate in their lives growing up, serve my community and wake up in a home that I love every single day. Cora, my branch office administrator, feels the same way. This relationship has allowed us to focus on serving clients that have the same values.

I love to spend time with my family at home or traveling. We enjoy being outdoors and living a healthy lifestyle or watching a movie and eating popcorn. Whether hiking in the mountains or gardening at home, I am happiest when surrounded by family and friends and I have built a practice of clients that, remarkably, enjoy the same lifestyle.
