I am a native of Granite Falls and have worked in the financial services industry for more than 20 years. I began my career as an independent financial advisor after graduating from Appalachian State University in 2001 with a degree in Finance and Insurance. I am dedicated to my clients and with my knowledge in the areas of asset management and taxation I can provide comprehensive strategies to help guide them as they plan their financial goals. I joined the team at Southeast Retirement Planners in December 2014.I enjoy spending time in the outdoors mountain biking and boating with my family. I am also a self-taught photographer and like to explore the Blue Ridge Mountains for unique photo opportunities offered by nature and the landscape.
