Qualifications
Before beginning my career in the financial services industry, I earned a BA in Finance from the University of Houston. In 1991, I joined Merrill Lynch, where I became a Certified Financial Manager. I joined RBC Wealth Management in 1999. In 2005, I earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification (CFP®) from Rice University and an Accredited Wealth Manager from the University of Michigan. In 2005, I was selected to join the President’s Council designation from RBC Wealth Management which was reserved for the top 20% of the financial advisors at the firm. Since 2012, I have been awarded the Chairman's Council designation from RBC Wealth Management, which is reserved for the top 150 financial advisors at the firm.
Based on my success in building a fee-based wealth management practice, I was selected to join RBC Wealth Management’s exclusive Consulting Group. I was also the host of “Your Money” on AM 700 KSEV - The Voice of Texas and a former weekly guest on Money Mondays seen on News24Houston.
Personal
I am a native Houstonian, currently living in West Houston. I have two children, Taylor and Joshua, and a granddaughter, Sage. My family believes strongly in taking an active role in the community through a variety of organizations, such as the SPCA, CAPS, DePelchin Children’s Center, and SIRE. In my spare time, I volunteer with Pilots N Paws and Angel Flight, combining my passion for flying with giving back. Outside of work, I enjoy flying, golfing, traveling, and spending time at our family ranch in Chappell Hill, TX.
