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 Bachelor’s degree in Business from UNC Greensboro with a concentration in Marketing. My career includes over 27 years in banking with 20 years of that time spent in the Business and Corporate Banking teams. My specific focus has been working with clients in the Healthcare, Distribution, Dental, Manufacturing segments that are in the growth phase of the business cycle.

My spouse and I have been married for 31 years and have lived in the Charlotte area for over 26 years. We have one son who also lives in the Charlotte area.

I am passionate about spending my spare time with family and friends enjoying food, wine, and travel. I also like to volunteer, donate to local charities in the community and attending church at Lake Forest Church in Huntersville where I have been a Ministry Partner for over 22 years.

I invite you to connect with me on LinkedIn and Facebook
