My wealth management career began in New York, where I worked as a financial advisor at a major brokerage firm. After a few years, I moved back to my home state, North Carolina, and became a First Vice President Private Financial Advisor in Wealth Management for a large regional bank’s brokerage firm.

In addition to being a wealth advisor, I am also a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor® and hold Series 7 and 24 registrations with LPL Financial, and my series 65 registration with Founders Financial Alliance, as well as life, accident and health insurance licenses. I do business in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a bachelor’s degree in economics and enjoy spending time with my wife and two sons in my free time.

I worked with our founder and CEO, Tom Porter, back in 2002 at a large regional bank and brokerage firm. After Tom and I parted ways, I moved to the California Bay Area, where I transitioned into running the operations and compliance side of the business.

A few years later, I took some time off to raise my two daughters before rejoining Tom at Founders Financial Alliance. We are both proud graduates of the The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
