I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of South Carolina. My career at First Citizens began in Denver, CO where I worked alongside the business, commercial, and branch teams. I spent two years earning my MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Upon graduating from UNC, my career at First Citizens began again as the Cannabis Sales Manager. My current role as Manager of Business Banking is dedicated to supporting businesses in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
I was raised in Raleigh, North Carolina and currently live in Charleston with my wife, Ann Hill.
