Professional
Born in Ypsilanti, MI, I am a proud graduate of Grambling State University. I began my financial role as a personal banker with one of the world's leading financial institutions. Along the way, I enhanced my relationship-building skills and learned the importance of how proper financial education & literacy impact lives.
As a financial advisor for Watson Wealth Management with Northwestern Mutual, a Top 40 Under 40 Advisor in Atlanta, and a Million Dollar Round Table recipient, my team and I service the community by meeting with clients to discuss financial goals, investment timelines, and risk tolerance. We use a four-step approach in working with our clients to understand complex financial issues and how they can affect life goals — whether a client is working to achieve current financial success or to protect and preserve assets over the long term.
The Watson Wealth Management team aspires to change the narrative around wealth accumulation with a goal of helping 1,000 families and individuals create and protect generational wealth.

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.
