As a Financial Planner with Pelora Advisors, I’ve had the privilege of helping clients organize their financial lives and plan for the future over the past two years. Before becoming a financial planner, I spent 17 years in the automotive industry, including seven as a service manager for several high-end dealerships. Although I enjoyed my time in that field, I sought a career with a better work-life balance and less stress, which led me to financial planning—a profession I quickly fell in love with.

My journey into this industry began after reaching out to a successful friend in the life insurance business. I started as an independent broker, but it wasn’t until I joined MassMutual Carolinas and Pelora Advisors that I truly found my calling. Helping people with their finances has proven to be incredibly rewarding, and I feel fortunate to be able to make a meaningful difference in such a vital aspect of their lives.

Originally from Lancaster, PA, I’ve lived in Raleigh since 2011, where I moved in search of new opportunities. Outside of work, I’m a proud father of four, with my son Landen playing football and my daughters Harper and Aven dancing competitively. When I’m not spending time with my family, I enjoy weightlifting, outdoor activities, and occasionally indulging in a video game with my son or working on cars as a hobby.
