Get to know me
As a First Citizens commercial banker, it’s important to invest in understanding your business, strategies and key objectives. An established process and skilled team of specialists help me tailor solutions to fit you and your organization. Clients appreciate our trusted partnership in planning for long-term success.
I earned my Bachelors degree from Univesity of California, and MBA in Finance from California State University, Sacramento. I have been in Banking now 31 years, primarily in the Commercial Banking realm but also in Wealth Management roles. I have been both a manager and a a relationship manager in each arena. Currently my specific focus is working with clients in the Commercial, Industrial and Medical/Professional industries seeking to improve or expand their banking relationship.
My wife of 33 years, Nola, and I have three adult children: our daughter is a professional horse trainer, our eldest son a medical doctor and our youngest son a professional rugby player playing for Los Angeles. Nola and I enjoy trips to Lake Tahoe and Carmel as well as overseas travel. We have two dogs, a cat and a horse.
