I grew up in Louisville, KY and will always have my roots in Louisville basketball (and now, football), horse racing, BBQ and bourbon. I spent 15 years in Charlotte, NC where I met my wife Susan and had two beautiful kids Camryn and James. In 2015, we relocated to Susan’s hometown of Tampa to be near cousins, grandparents and the beach. We quickly found a church home and have built awesome relationships with truly great people I am lucky to have around me. I have been a financial advisor for over a decade, but my passion is working one-on-one with other advisors to help them elevate their practice to new levels of success. I love teaching them new skills, elevating their client experiences and helping them provide more value to their clients. For the last 20 years, I have watched our industry's reputation be trashed by a public that says we only care about selling products and making money for ourselves. Clients are apprehensive to engage with us, they question our motives, and they are skeptical to take our advice. My mission is to change that perception of our industry one client at a time in Tampa Bay. Not by "doing no harm" or by a fiduciary standard, but to rise above that and be a blessing to every client we come across so that our clients can be a blessing to their families and their community. I want clients to talk about Westshore Financial and say, no they are different - their only focus is on helping me succeed.I am constantly looking for advisors who love their clients and love their friends and families who are looking to grow their business. I'd love to connect with you and offer any advice or help I can, whether we ever get the chance to work together or not./COMPLIANCE:2024-2136/
