About me…well that’s a loaded question
I’m a native Floridian so that is pretty rare. I was born and raised in Boca Raton. I left South Florida for 4 years while I attended Florida State University in Tallahassee. I’ve wanted to be a Seminole for as far back as I can remember. Growing up in South Florida and being a Seminole fan was tough. Most of my friends were Miami Hurricane fans and we had way too many Wide Rights!
I graduated from Florida State in 2000 with a degree in Finance and I went to work for Wal-Mart as an Assistant Store Manager. I quickly learned that walking around Wal-Mart for 55 hours a week wasn’t my cup of tea. I joined Bank of America in October of 2000 and spent the next 9 years of my career with them. I started at Bank of America as a Personal Banker and mortgages were one of many of my job duties but I excelled in that arena and quickly gravitated in that direction. I was promoted to a Mortgage Market Manager in 2003 and was in charge of training and development for over 80 sales people in North Broward. In 2005 I migrated over to the individual sales side and became a Mortgage Origination Loan Officer. I enjoyed tremendous success and was named to both the Platinum Club and Chairman’s Club which was reserved for the top 5% of loan officers nationally. I’ve been in the mortgage game ever since and I truly love what I do!
More important than my profession is my family. I met my wife, Jolynn, at Florida State my senior year and we’ve been together ever since. We’ve been together for 14 years now and we now have 2 amazing children. My son Jayden is 5 and is so much like me. My daughter, Madison, turned 3 in June and looks just like me (sorry Madison) but acts just like my wife (uh-oh). I spend almost every free minute with them and truly enjoy taking in every minute. I know they are growing up way too fast.
For hobbies I enjoy fishing with my Dad, vacationing with the family, and hitting the gym. I keep trying to get my college body back but that is an uphill battle. 
As part of the CloseWithUs Team I’ve been able to spend a good majority of my time in what I truly enjoy and that is marketing and coaching. My passions are training, coaching, mentoring, and marketing and this new role with the CloseWithUs Team affords me the opportunity to do all of these. I couldn't be happier!
