My Story and Services

As your Morgan Stanley financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time to understand what goals you're working toward before you invest your money. Working closely with you and your CPA, attorney, and other professionals, I can help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family. I can also help with your retirement savings so you have more options when you retire, regardless of what you decide to do.

At Morgan Stanley, the strategies we offer and the solutions we recommend are based on what's most important to you. Once we understand your priorities, we can help you identify specific financial goals and develop strategies to help you work toward achieving them.

I started my career as a financial advisor in 2013 in Williamsburg, VA. Prior to this, I served my country in the United States Navy for 21 years, retiring as a Senior Chief Petty Officer, I have deployed around the world more than six times over.

I attended Ashford University and graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2013 with a Bachelor's degree in Business.

My wife, Amanda, and I have been married for 29 years and have two children; a daughter, Shelby, and a son, Zachary. Originally from Indianapolis, IN, we moved to Williamsburg and have called it our home since 2003.

Relationships are key, and in my view, meeting face to face builds strong relationships. We can meet when it's convenient for you because we recognize the challenging needs of your business and your lives.

We provide the investments, services, and tools our clients need to work toward their financial future.
