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 earned my Bachelor of Science Degree from Appalachian State University in Business Administration. My banking career spans over 37 years including early retail management roles but primarily business and commercial banking roles in the last 25 years. My specific focus currently is working with clients in the Business and Industrial space in all phases of the business cycle. I am a native of Lake Waccamaw, NC and have been fortunate enough to serve my home county for the past 36 years of my banking career.
My spouse, Samantha, and I have been married for 19 years. We are the proud parents of a son in high school and a daughter in middle school. My son is active in high school soccer, golf, and baseball and my daughter is active in dance performing arts.
I am passionate about spending my spare time volunteering in both civic and church activities in my community. Nights and weekends are often spent with activities involving our kids - ballgames, Boy Scouts activities, and dance performances.
