Personal
I live in Hamilton, AL with my wife, Brenda. My daughter, Marcy, and grandson, Joshua, reside in Tuscaloosa, AL. Brenda has two daughters. Apryl, one of Brenda's daughters, lives in Tuscaloosa, AL and works with Brenda in her business. Brenda's other daughter, Amberly, will graduate from the University of Alabama in December.
I received my B.S. and Master´s degree in Education from the University of North Alabama in Florence, AL. I taught school and coached high school football in several schools in Alabama over a 12 year education career prior to joining Northwestern Mutual.
In my search for a satisfying career, I knew that my priorities were 1) that it allow me flexibility, 2) that I would be my own boss and 3) that I would offer an invaluable and much needed service to others. In that search, I found Northwestern Mutual Financial Network. I was impressed with all the network had to offer not only to its representatives, but also to its clients. Now, almost 30 years later, I'm blessed to have been able to earn a good living while doing what I love and helping others!
Community Involvement
I am an active member of the Guin Church of Christ, where I also serve as an elder.
I also enjoy supporting various academic and athletic programs in the schools throughout our area.

Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
