I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. I attended First Coast High School where I learned the benefits of teamwork by competing on the golf, cross-country, and baseball teams. The discipline and character I developed at First Coast led me to Florida State University, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and Economics. I capitalized on my Economics degree by seeking a career in Financial Services, joining Mantay & Company in 2015 as a Marketing Assistant. In January 2017, I transitioned into a Prudential Financial Professional role, and in May 2017, I became a Financial Advisor.
Beyond my professional career, I am deeply committed to serving the local community, particularly within the special needs community. I volunteer with Special Olympics Northeast Florida and the Down Syndrome Association of Jacksonville as a basketball and flag football coach. For the past six years, I have also served on the Board of the Developmental Learning Center, an organization dedicated to providing year-round high-quality education, nursing care, and therapies to children of all abilities so the children and families have the opportunity to reach their maximum potential.
Outside of work and service, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two sons, staying active in our local church, and finding time for hobbies like collecting comic books—a passion that began in my childhood. I’ve always been drawn to superheroes because I believe we all have a duty to help those in need, a value that continues to guide both my professional and personal life.
