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.
My spouse, Donna and I have been married for 27 years. Donna is a retired New Hanover County School teacher and I have spent the majority of my thirty two year banking career here in Wilmington. I am from a large family that has called South Eastern North Carolina home since my father retired from the Coast Guard in 1963. After graduating from New Hanover High School I attended UNCW on a baseball scholarship.
I spend much of my free time with friends and family. When I'm not working I love to play golf and have fun playing bass guitar in a local cover band.
I invite you to connect with me on LinkedIn.
