I am grateful to have provided investment and planning advice to individuals, families and business owners since 2007.  In 2012, I achieved the credential as a Certified Financial Planner™ in order to provide the greatest benefit to my clients. 

Prior to my career as a financial planner, I taught high school advanced placement economics and American history while also serving as both a head football and track and field coach.  

I have been married to my wife, Christina, since June 21, 1997 and we are blessed to be the parents of two young adults.  I serve on the elder board for Creekside Christian Church in St. Johns, Florida and also as an assistant varsity track coach at Bartram Trail High School. 

I welcome the opportunity to serve you.

I have had the privilege of providing guidance and assistance in all aspects of financial services to individuals, business entities and families for over 35 years. In 1993, I found that my passion lied in my ability to build relationships by working one on one to develop personalized plans to achieve one’s financial goals.  I obtained insurance and securities licensure in 1999.   

I am a Tallahassee native, very fortunate to have two successful adult children, Lance and Tiffany. I enjoy involvement in various health, educational and youth organizations which allows me to connect with the needs of my community.

I would appreciate an opportunity to assist you.
