I chose a career in financial services because I saw how a lack of planning could derail people's dreams and financial goals. My background is anything but traditional. Before entering this industry, I spent 17 years as a master barber, building relationships, listening to people's stories, and serving as a trusted resource in my community. I also played professional arena football and coached high school football, experiences that strengthened my discipline, accountability, and commitment to helping others succeed. I hold a Social Security certification and a real estate license, which contribute to my understanding of the financial decisions families face.
Based in Austin, Texas, I serve clients across California, Texas, South Carolina, and Nevada. I work with individuals, families, and professionals who want greater confidence in their financial future. My approach is centered on building lasting relationships, understanding each client's goals, and delivering guidance that is practical and easy to understand. Growing up in a diverse community taught me the value of connection, trust, and meaningful relationships.
Outside of work, I enjoy music, sports, and opportunities to mentor others. I am currently developing a podcast focused on improving financial awareness among youth and young adults. I am passionate about helping people protect what matters most, pursue their goals with confidence, and create a stronger future. I look forward to earning your trust and invite you to schedule an appointment to start the conversation.
