Originally from Charlotte, NC, I attended college at Wingate University where I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Finance in 2019. During my time as a student, I learned the value of genuine service working at Chick-fil-A and honed my coaching skills tutoring high school debaters.

After graduating, I attained my Series 7 and 66 registrations, currently held by LPL Financial, along with the Virginia Life & Health Insurance license. In 2022, I was named a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional. It is my conviction that I am called to serve those around me with the utmost honor and respect. This is why I believe in having a positive impact on everyone I meet while striving to go the extra mile.

I moved to the Shenandoah Valley after meeting my beautiful wife and best friend, McKenzie. We are blessed to have our son, Spencer, with us and two children in heaven, Hope and Camden. My favorite hobbies include disc golf, basketball and reading. I am an avid football fan, love the Carolina Hurricanes, and appreciate great food.
