I was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, and I'm a Gulf Coast guy through and through. If you ask my family—and that includes my friends—they'll tell you you'll usually find me in one of three places: at the beach, enjoying life in Midtown, or somewhere celebrating Mardi Gras.

​

After high school, I chose to stay close to home and attend Spring Hill College. While it may be in Mobile, Spring Hill has a culture all its own. The Jesuit education I received and the relationships I built there shaped the way I lead, the way I serve, and the kind of impact I hope to have on the people around me.

​

Like many people, I felt the pull to leave home after graduation. That journey took me to Nashville and then Knoxville before ultimately bringing me back home. Looking back, leaving gave me a greater appreciation for the place that I will always call home.

​

Along the way, I reconnected with the woman who would become my wife, had the opportunity to work with some outstanding organizations, became a proud dog dad to two Doodles, and accomplished a long-standing goal of earning my Master of Business Administration.

​

Today, I have the privilege of serving as the Director of Enrollment and Recruitment at McGill-Toolen Catholic High School, where I help families discover how a quality Catholic education can shape a student's future, just as it shaped mine.

 

Outside of work, not much has changed—you'll still find me at the beach, at home in Midtown, or somewhere enjoying another Mardi Gras season.

​

As I continue growing professionally, I'm excited to share my experience beyond my full-time role through consulting and adjunct teaching. I enjoy helping organizations think strategically, strengthen their brands, and build meaningful relationships that create lasting impact.

​

If there's one thing that defines me, it's relationships. Every opportunity in my life has started with a conversation, and I believe the best ideas are built through genuine connections.

​

I'd love to start one with you.
