Get to know me

I am an accidental banker that discovered an ability to help people with their finances whether they were an individual opening a checking account or a CEO of a 150 Million dollar company who needs an ABL facility. I found my calling and work hard every day to make the lives of my clients and my team better by sharing my industry knowledge and embracing everyday challenges with a youthful vigor.

My experiences in banking have been vast over the last two decades, moving my family four times in six years to help the Wachovia organization blend cultures and increase sales for underperforming teams. I recruited, coached and motivated my way to turn them all around. In 2008, my wife and I brought our family back to Augusta (my wife's home).

I now lead a team of exemplary talent over three lines of business, which includes Retail, Business Banking and Commercial. Blending all of my formal experiences personally to benefit the experience for the Greater Augusta Market.
