A graduate of Baylor University, where he earned degrees in both Financial Planning and Real Estate, he later moved to Pennsylvania where he taught an adult continuing education course on personal financial planning through Penn State University.

I like people and I love hearing their stories. Everyone is different and every case is unique. Every day is a new challenge and when you see a worried client come into your office and a happy, confident client leave your office, it’s a great feeling. Helping people live the lives they want to live is tremendously rewarding.
