About me

I'm a proud graduate of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where I earned recognition as an Academic All-American football player before starting my insurance career. After Hurricane Katrina I relocated to Austin, joined the State Farm family, and have been protecting Lake Travis families ever since. My wife Erin and I are raising four kids in the Lake Travis area. Outside the office I'm cheering on Lake Travis football, hunting, fishing on Lake Travis and Lake Austin, and currently serving as President of the Lake Travis Football Booster Club.

Erin serves as a trustee on the Lake Travis Independent School Board
