With over 25 years of experience, I am a problem solver who listens to your concerns and provides solutions.  Backed by the research and resources of one of the world's largest wealth management firms, I walk with you during changing times, with guidance based on plans we make together, ahead of time.

I started my career at JC Bradford, and have been with UBS since 2000. I grew up in Williamson County, Tennessee, and played football and wrestled for Franklin High School. I earned a BS at Brigham Young University. I am married to my college sweetheart. We are blessed with two daughters, a son, a son-in-law, and an energetic Labrador/Australian dog. I have finished three marathons, and I am a fan of SEC football.  I enjoy reading and fishing our beautiful Tennessee rivers in a kayak or canoe.

My favorite community service is disaster relief.  I often travel to hard-hit areas to remove fallen trees or debris from homes after hurricanes, tornadoes, or floods.  Other service has included Second Harvest Food Bank, Boy Scouts of America, Williamson County School Athletics, Giving Machines Nashville, and church service.  I am an Eagle Scout.
