About me
Born and raised in the South, I had dreams to move out West after college and break into showbiz. I just knew I was going to be the next Ryan Gossling. Sadly, all the producers knew otherwise. I also got involved in boxing and I spent several hours a day training. I just knew I was going to be the next Mike Tyson. One year later, I still wasn't famous, nor had I won any championships and I was out of money. Two options remained: Join the LAPD or move back home. I moved back home.
After working as a loan officer for 3 years, I had a calling to be a teacher. I was passionate about math and helping people. Math always came natural to me, so I thought I could teach it. The only job I could find was a theatre position. Much like math, acting always came natural to me, so I took the job. I was there for 4 years, and I enjoyed doing it, but I never truly felt like I was doing what I was meant to do in life. I wanted to find my purpose. I slowly learned more and more about the stock market and economics. My 3rd year in, I helped my mother plan for her retirement, and I never felt more passion than I did in those hours of planning. I knew then what I wanted to do, I just had to figure out how. I spent hours a day learning about finances. I wanted to make sure that no matter what, I at least had the knowledge needed to succeed in my newly found purpose. In 2022, I took that leap of faith and became a financial advisor.
This is my Mission:
Provide extraordinary service financially to the people that need it. Be genuine, honest, and innovative to help people reach their goals in the most efficient way possible. Wake up every day with the intention to help people. Treat everyone with respect regardless of any disagreements or differences.
Without my wife, Maggie and our little girl Lillian, these statements would just be a stream of thoughts that would slowly fade. I wouldn't be where I am today without them. They drive me to materialize my mission.
How can I help you?
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
