Born in Arkansas & raised in Mississippi, I have a natural love for all things Southern. That is why I feel so blessed to be a part of the team at Gum Tree Mortgage, where our hospitality truly makes a difference! Mortgage runs in my family, but I come from a Human Resources background; I had no idea I would absolutely fall in love with this industry. Assisting our Mortgage Consultants and their clients is something I look forward to doing every single day!

In my time outside of work I enjoy being with my husband and daughter! If it's the weekend, you can usually find us at the lake :)

As a Loan Officer Assistant, I exist to facilitate a smooth transaction from application through closing.  I take immense pride in helping our clients achieve the dream of homeownership.  As the son of one of the founders, I’ve been surrounded by mortgage lending and real estate finance, my entire life.  I know how important it is to first understand the needs of the clients and then to transition that information into the best mortgage loan that fits their specific situation.  I’m here to help!

I grew up in Tupelo, MS where I live today with my wife Madison and we attend The Orchard Church.  I’m a graduate of Mississippi State University with a Bachelor degree in Finance.  In the summer you can find me on the lake wake surfing and in the winter and spring you can find me chasing deer, ducks, or turkeys.
