Director

Financial Advisor

I began my career in financial services with UBS as a Financial Advisor in 2003 in the Brentwood, TN branch. Currently, I am a Wealth Advisor for the UBS office located in Lafayette, LA. I attribute much of my success to the fact that, I genuinely enjoy helping my clients succeed in reaching their financial goals. In addition to my career, my hobbies include golf, hunting, and fishing. I currently reside in Broussard, LA with my wife Susan.
