Member Bio
I am a commercial banking professional working for WesBanco Bank in Bowie, MD. Though I am a generalist banker, my ideal client is a government contractor who generates more than $15 million per year in revenue in Maryland, DC, or Virginia. Though people often think of bankers when they need loans, as a full-service bank, I'll be on the front-line with customers for all of their needs. I'll be their go-to person for all lending, deposits and cash management, and, when it comes time to sell, their trust, investment, and private banking needs.
Prior to WesBanco, I was a commercial relationship manager at M&T Bank in Annapolis. Prior to entering the world of finance, I spent six years in the Navy as a Weapons Officer onboard a destroyer in San Diego and as a Nuclear Engineering Officer onboard an aircraft carrier in Norfolk. While in the Navy, I deployed twice spending time in the South China Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and Arabian Gulf in support of Operation Inherent Resolve.
I'm an active member of St. Mary's Parish in Annapolis and (soon-to-be) Treasurer and Board Member of the Anne Arundel County Food Bank. I also coach Scoopers (5 & 6 year old) lacrosse for Broadneck Area Youth Sports. When I'm not chasing my two young kids around, I enjoy playing (terribly) golf and (also terribly) ice hockey. I live in Arnold, MD, just north of Annapolis.
