I began my career working in the banking industry at Entegra Bank. After five years, I decided to move into finance. So, I transferred to Edward Jones during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the markets were down and the positive cases were rising, the culture of Edward Jones allowed me to quickly feel appreciated and grateful for a long-term career. As a financial advisor, I believe hard-work, honesty and passion are some of my best qualities. I enjoy listening to people and finding out what is most important to them. After that, we use the strategies and solutions Edward Jones provides to help them. I value the privilege of helping people meet their financial goals. I attended Southwestern Community College and then transferred to Western Carolina University and earned my bachelor's in marketing. After that, I attended Cameron University and earned my master's degree in business administration. Through it all, I married my high school sweetheart, Kandis, and we have two amazing children, Ivory and Rome. Some of my hobbies include beach volleyball, hiking and fishing. I am a member of Franklin Daybreak Rotary club and enjoy doing many community projects to help better this amazing place. My relationships are built with trust and serviced with care. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet you!
