As a third generation funeral director, I began my career in funeral service at the age of 15, detailing automobiles. After enrolling at High Point University, I began working at a family owned funeral home in High Point, NC. Upon my graduation from HPU with a B.S. in Entrepreneurship, I began serving a full-time apprenticeship and enrolled at Fayetteville Technical Community College, where I received an AAS in Funeral Service Education. I became licensed as a funeral director in 2011 and an embalmer in 2013. In 2012, I made the transition to working for a corporate owned funeral home as a pre arranged funeral counselor. I excelled in sales and earned the opportunity to become a location manager of a funeral home in Thomasville, NC.As my career has progressed, I was promoted to General Manager over a funeral home and cemetery combination in a larger city where I have learned about cemetery sales, maintenance, and service. Today, I am the General Sales Manager of the same Funeral Home and Cemetery. I understand the importance of building a collaborative team while growing the business and am committed to service excellence.
