About Me
I grew up around Athens my whole life and have always been a Georgia boy. After graduating high school, I attended the University of Georgia on a golf scholarship and graduated in 2019 with the plan to turn professional. An injury to my neck ended my golfing career, and I had to find a new path to pursue.
I began my career as a financial advisor here at Northwestern Mutual shortly after my injury for many reasons. Through golf I was able to travel the world and have experiences people dream about. I want to be able to help others have those same experiences. My experience with my injury not only led me to this career, but it is a notable example of why planning for your future is so important. You truly never know what may happen to you or someone you love.
Helping people achieve their financial goals is my passion, and I would love to sit down and get to know you and your family to learn what is important to you.
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.
Professional
I specialize in helping a variety of professionals such as physicians, attorneys, and business owners as well as married couples and young families. We run a practice based out of Athens, Georgia, but we help clients countrywide. Let us help you find out what is possible!

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.
