    • Managing Director - Investment Officer
    Focus

    As a Managing Director - Investments and Senior Financial Advisor with Wells Fargo Advisors, I provide comprehensive investment planning to both individual and corporate investors.

    Background and experience

    For over 30 years I have helped clients develop and maintain customized investment strategies by focusing on each individual’s specific needs. With extensive experience throughout major shifts in the markets, I have dedicated my career to delivering the personalized investment planning services my clients deserve.

    I began my career as a Financial Advisor with A. G. Edwards, a predecessor firm of Wells Fargo Advisors, in 1993, where I have developed a fundamental investment knowledge. I also served as a Branch manager with the firm.  I feel financial advice always starts with an in depth analysis of an investors needs and goals. Once completed, I apply an investment approach that includes both strategic and tactical allocation to help manage risk efficiently.

    I attended the University of North Texas and Texas Tech University where I graduated in 1991 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications and Public Address and Business.


    Away from the office

    I enjoy time away from the office with my family.  Our passion is the outdoors and travel to new places to explore.  I have been married to my wife Erika for 27 years.  We raised our family In Flower Mound Texas and are proud Jaguar supporters.  Go Jags!  We have two sons Erik (21) a student at the University of North Texas and Bradley (18) a Texas A&M Aggie.  Our family is a strong supporter of the rescue of animals, and we currently have a beautiful dog named Beau.
