I am an Operations Finance Analyst at PPD, as well as an alumnus of The University of North Carolina Wilmington. I have taken a different life path than most due to setbacks and being unsure about which career path to take. I have learned from the trials and tribulations of working my way up through restaurants to the point where I helped open one that is thriving in Ohio. I have also felt the stress of helping open an employment agency that continues to grow after my relocation to Wilmington with my wife to start our family. This path has given me many different looks at aspects of business and has helped me single out the career path in finance that I am excited to start my journey on soon. I have found my drive to my future career and it is staying on course no matter what difficulties present themselves in this chapter of my life. I was able to achieve a 3.9 GPA at Cape Fear Community College and The University of North Carolina Wilmington all while having two back surgeries, difficulties of a pandemic, and having our first son in June of 2020.
