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 from the University of Central Oklahoma. My career includes over 13 years in banking with the majority of that time spent in the Commercial 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 wife, Jamie and I have been married for 12 years and are in the process of raising three wonderful daughters who are currently in Middle and Elementary school and very active in ballet and dance.

I am passionate about spending my spare time playing golf, shooting sporting clays and spending time with family driving around in our 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Our family remains active and loves to go hiking and biking together. We love to vacation in Florida along 30A.

I invite you to connect with me on LinkedIn.
