I was born and raised in Central Illinois with the values of hard work, integrity, and patriotism instilled in me. I moved to Saint Louis after high school where I graduated from Lindenwood University with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and worked as an Assistant Vice President and Branch Manager of a community bank for nine years. My desire to work with military families and my background in finance led me to Veterans United Home Loans where I work hard to help veterans purchase their dream home. My wife and two young sons are my strength and my joy; a true gift! I am an avid archery hunter who loves spending time in the outdoors. As the brother of one Air Force officer and one retired Army Sergeant, I am familiar with and thankful for the great service our United States military members provide to our country.
