With more than 11 years in the banking industry, I enjoy supporting small to midsized businesses through growth, acquisitions, and day to day financial needs. I pride myself on building long term relationships and being a trusted resource during pivotal moments in a client’s business journey. I partner with business owners to understand their goals and deliver tailored lending and treasury solutions that support both short term needs and long-term growth. Clients can expect responsiveness, transparency, and proactive communication from me, whether they’re celebrating a milestone or navigating a challenge. A graduate of The Ohio State University and a proud Worthington resident, I remain active in the community through my involvement with the Worthington Chamber of Commerce, the Central Ohio African American Chamber of Commerce, and the Columbus Urban League. Outside of work, I’m an active, fun loving dad who enjoys spending time supporting my son and nephews in their many activities.
