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 M.B.A. from Columbia Southern University with a concentration in Finance and Human Resource Management. My career includes over 20 years in banking with the majority of that time spent in the Business and Commercial Banking space. My specific focus has been working with clients in the Medical and Manufacturing spaces that are in the growth phase of the business cycle.

My wife, Jennifer and I have been married for 7 years. We live in Knoxville and enjoy time spent together golfing and traveling.

I am passionate about spending my spare time volunteering in the community on the fire department as a captain and emergency medical technician. I have served in this capacity for the past 15 years as the primary training officer for fire department personnel.

I invite you to connect with me on LinkedIn.
