I became a financial advisor because I want to help people. The most important thing I do for my clients is to truly listen to them in order to understand their story and what they are going through. I was a fourth generation born and raised in Fayetteville , NC and grew up in a small house next to Cape Fear Valley Hospital with my brother and working class parents. While my grandfathers were members of the U.S. Army stationed at Fort Bragg, my father worked as a Utility Locator and my Mother had a career in retail banking while raising us.

The wise words of my grandfather "If you don't know where you are going then how can you get there," and witnessing the financial struggles of those that I admired the most imprinted in me that everyone needs and deserves a financial plan. I realized from a young age the sense of well being, security, and dignity that successful financial planning and investing can provide. This inspired me to enter the financial services industry after Graduate School, to help people just like those in my own family. Today, 8 years later, I remain more committed than ever to educating and inspiring my clients to take control of their finances. I enjoy building close, long lasting relationships with my clients and take pride in upholding an ethical standard that cannot be surpassed.
