I am a long time resident of Evergreen Park, IL. Growing up near Chicago but still living in a small town was a great combination for me. I was very involved in my High School sports teams and the variety of different clubs that EPCHS has to offer. After graduating from EPCHS, I attend SIU in Carbondale, IL from 2011-2016.

While attending SIU I was blessed with the opportunity to start a chapter of one of the largest Fraternities in the world, Sigma Chi. While being in the active chapter, I held many leadership positions and also served as president for one year. Joining an Organization on campus helped with my involvement with the community. We made a huge difference in the community and throughout campus since the start of the chapter. I am a firm believer in giving back to the community and helping the younger generation. I had the chance of working with a lot of different people and departments at SIU. I have also made a ton of life long friendships along the way. While attending SIU, I received a degree in Exercise Science and had the chance to work in the Recreation Center on campus as a personal trainer.

I have always had a great personality and can start a conversation with anyone. Being someone to look up to and being a positive role model is just a couple of reasons I wanted to be a broker. I want to be a guy my clients can TRUST. I believe that not all brokers are the same and I am here to prove that. My family has been very involved in the market and is looking to get back into it. This was a perfect time and fit for my family and I.

I have joined Baird and Warner because of their core values as a company toward clients.  Which are very similar to the core values I practiced and still practice as being a part of Sigma Chi. I continue to stay active in the fraternity as the Chapter Advisor for SIU chapter and look forward to becoming more active in my local community as well.
