I am a graduate of Cartersville High School and the University of Georgia. I also hold an MBA from Kennesaw State University. I have been a financial advisor since 1999, and hold the designations of ChFC, CLU, and AWMA.

I reside in Cartersville with my wife Mandy and our three boys. Our family is active in the First Presbyterian Church of Cartersville and I am active in the Cartersville/Bartow Exchange Club. I am a former Board member of the Etowah Valley Humane society and the Cartersville/Bartow Chamber of Commerce.

I enjoy spending time with my family. Other interests include tennis, cycling and UGA athletics.
