I was born in Miami, lived my formative years in Atlanta, and moved with my family to Dallas in 2004. I attended A&M University and in 2010 I interned at Northwestern Mutual. It didn’t take long to realize that I discovered my career and I never looked back. Currently, I reside in Carrollton with my wife, Bethany, my son, Clay, and my two dogs Bella and Leo. I am passionate about expanding into the Hispanic market and I embrace my Spanish Heritage by maintaining my fluency in Spanish & English. I also visit Miami frequently to stay in touch with close family and clients. In my free time, you can find me listening to an audiobook or enjoying time with friends and family.

Before Joining Northwestern Mutual I was a collegiate baseball player at Ouachita Baptist. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Christian Studies and Business, then pursued a career in ranch management as well as positions in the oil field before I began my career with Northwestern Mutual. After joining the financial industry I found my passion working with families and helping businesses protect the work they built from the ground up. On the weekends, I enjoy spending time with the incredibly adventurous love of my life, Lindsey, and with my family who still live in my hometown Aubrey, Tx. I believe in living a fulfilling life and working in this business has allowed me to lay the foundation to protect this type of lifestyle, whether that is traveling, scuba diving, skiing, or relaxing at home surrounded by my friends and family.

Before I joined Northwestern Mutual as a financial advisor, I served for three years as the Head of Fundraising for my alma maters' rowing team at UC Berkeley. Spending countless morning hours on the Oakland Estuary, winning two national collegiate and two international collegiate championships has cemented the Cal rowing team forever in my heart. I remain an active supporter to this day. My wife Rachel and I met at Berkeley where she was also a collegiate athlete, winning multiple national championships in swimming and previous to that, an Olympic gold medal in the 2012 Olympics. Today we enjoy our free time with our son, Shepherd, and our Goldendoodle, Lucy, at Cedar Creek Lake, The Hill Country, family get togethers in Minnesota, or cheering on the Jesuit rowing team at White Rock Lake.

Before moving into financial advising I spent 17 years in full time Christian ministry serving various churches across Texas and Louisiana. During this period I also spent time directing orchestras and musicians across the nation. I then moved to Rockwall in 2014 to join Northwestern Mutual's Addison Office and found my passion in the industry. From pastor to farmer to small business owner to financial advising I understand change and all the ups and downs that come with it. Jazz music and trumpet playing fill my weekends while my weekdays are spent with my clients. Whether it is maintaining my own honey business or helping others reach their financial goals I understand the hard work and effort it takes to reap the benefits. Currently, I reside on my ranch with my wife, Jennifer, and my three children, Caleb, Jacob, and Chloe. I enjoy cycling, music, discipleship training, gardening, and technology.

I grew up in Southlake, Texas, attending a small, private high school where I played almost every sport, with my favorite being six-man football. I graduated from Baylor University with B.B.A. in Marketing and Management in 2004, where I met and married my college sweetheart, Becca. We have three beautiful daughters, Ellie Kate, Caroline, and Noelle, and we are happily settled in McGregor, Texas. I really enjoy intentional time with my family and friends. I value meaningful and purposeful conversation. I strive to be a good steward of my gifts and resources, and I encourage my clients to do the same. I love to travel, especially to new destinations. I still enjoy playing sports (mostly football, golf, and tennis these days). Becca and I are active members of Harris Creek Baptist Church. We are avid Baylor Bear fans and enjoy supporting our alma mater.

I graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance. I joined Northwestern Mutual as an intern while at Baylor, and after graduation accepted a full-time position as a Financial Representative in our Waco office. At Northwestern Mutual, I enjoy having the freedom of being able to put my clients first and do what is best for them. I am passionate about using my talents in the financial world, paired with a time-tested strategy that encompasses both a defensive and offensive approach, to tailor a plan that allows my clients to reach their vision of financial security. I grew up in Cleburne, TX and now live in Waco with my 3-year-old yellow Lab, Beau. I am a member of Highland Baptist Church and am involved in a community group as well as the men’s Bible study. In my free time, I enjoy waterfowl hunting, trying new restaurants, relaxing outdoors, playing fetch with Beau, and supporting Baylor athletics.

I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in acting from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. In 2020, I started my own acting company and successfully managed students by providing them the tools necessary to succeed and book professional jobs in the industry. Working with individuals and having a positive impact in their lives motivates me each and every day. As a Cuban-Venezuelan American, I have been able to utilize my ability to communicate fluently in both English and Spanish in the professional industries I've worked in. I have a background in entrepreneurship and enjoy sales and client facing roles. I joined the team at Northwestern Mutual because I believe that everyone deserves financial freedom and the chance to make their American dream a reality. Northwestern Mutual allows me to implement my talents and knowledge to work/develop top advisors who are significantly influencing the lives of their clients.
