Get to know me

As a First Citizens business banker, it’s important to take the time to fully understand each and every customer’s line of business as no one business operates the same. Being a trusted partner to my clients and proactive in providing solutions has allowed me the opportunity to flourish within the company. At First Citizens Bank, we have established processes, rapid turnaround times, and expertise in the market space to help tailor solutions to fit you and your organization. Clients appreciate our trusted partnership in planning for long-term success.

A native of Illinois, I earned my bachelor's in accounting from Southern Illinois University - Carbondale before relocating to Phoenix. My banking career started nearly 20 years ago as a teller. I have been fortunate to work in a variety of different business banking roles which has helped me gain the depth and breadth of on-the-job experience needed to be a successful banker. I have a strong presence in the medical, dental, and veterinary communities. However, I am eager to help customers in all verticals. I love the ability to meet different business owners every day and discuss ways to help them grow and improve.

My wife, Ashley, and I have been married for 7 years. We are the proud parents of two highly energetic kids, Peyton and Rhett. We also have a Black Mouth Cur (dog) named Chief. I am passionate about spending my time outside of work with my family. While two littles can be bringing a hectic schedule, they are a ton of fun. I also enjoy playing golf, pickleball, sand volleyball, and fishing.

I invite you to connect with me on LinkedIn.
