Get to know me
As a First Citizens business 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 from Appalachian State University with a concentration in Finance and Banking. My career includes over 15 years in banking with the majority of that time spent in the Business Banking space. My specific focus has been working with clients in the Commercial and Industrial space that are in the growth phase of the business cycle.
My spouse, Claire, and I have been married for 10 years. We are the proud parents of a daughter and son who are in elementary school. We are active in sports, music, and exploring outdoor adventures as a family.
I am passionate about spending my spare time being an active member of the community and enjoying all that western North Carolina has to offer with my family. I believe the best leaders are servant leaders. I have had the privilege of serving on many nonprofit boards and committees since 2009. My community focus presently involves healthcare, music education, and environmental stewardship.
I invite you to connect with me on LinkedIn.
