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 attended North Carolina State University where I earned my Bachelors degree in Business Management with a concentration in Marketing, and my Masters in Business Administration with an emphasis on Finance. I have over 10 years of experience in banking, with the majority of that time spent in the small to mid-sized business space. My specific focus has been to serve as a trusted advisor to local companies as they navigate through the stages of their business life cycle.

My wife, Ashley, and I are proud parents. We are both Wake County, NC natives, and currently reside in Raleigh.

I enjoy being involved in my children’s sports and activities, traveling to our local beaches, spending time with our extended family in the area, and the occasional round of golf.
