I am from Gulfport, MS. I graduated in 1996 from Mississippi State University with a degree in Banking & Finance. Prior to working with State Farm, I worked for an independent agency as a commercial property & casualty producer. I bring previous business ownership as well as 20 years of experience to our Gulfport, MS agency. I am married to Stephanie from Ocean Springs.

We live in Gulfport and have four children, Holland (22), Ava Riley (17), Houston (17), and Jackson (17).

Marketing Associate

I was born and raised in Gulfport Mississippi and attended Gulfport High School as part of the 2017 Class. I then went on to the University of Mississippi before returning to the Gulf Coast. This position has given me the opportunity to connect with people from our community and all across the state every day and that is something that has been special.
