I grew up in Western Kentucky with my five siblings, a millwright working father, and a fun-loving mother who taught us how to enjoy life and make the most out of what we had. Growing up in a middle-class family sparked a deep desire for personal growth and finer things in life. I pursued higher education at the University of Kentucky to learn everything I could about money and investing. Once I graduated, I entered the financial service industry fully self-employed (school of hard knocks) and have not looked back.
My biggest passion has been for helping others achieve their financial goals. I have completed countless hours of continued learning to stay on the cutting edge of what’s happening in the industry to provide the best strategies for my clients. I was honored to receive numerous industry awards, qualifications, and various accolades, and earned a CLU designation (Certified Life Underwriter), but I’ll spare you the details.
In my personal life, I have a loving wife of 35+ years, along with two irreplaceable Golden Doodles. We enjoy traveling with our three grown children on as many occasions as possible. I love tinkering in my rose garden, making live-edge tables, watching most sports, and sometimes simply doing nothing but having friends around for good conversation.
