I am a dedicated Funding Specialist with a passion for driving growth and a competitive spirit that carries over from the football field to the financial world. I pride myself on being a high-energy professional who balances a results-oriented career with a deep commitment to my family and my community. Whether I am securing capital for a business or coaching a championship team, I bring an “all-in” mentality to every challenge I tackle.

My core expertise lies in financial strategy and the end-to-end management of the funding process. I specialize in quickly identifying and matching business clients with optimal capital solutions tailored to their specific growth trajectories. Beyond finance, I possess a high-level mastery of football mechanics and team leadership, skills I’ve honed through years of elite competition and coaching.
Currently, I manage the deployment of capital at AFN, where I focus on securing efficient approvals to maximize portfolio performance and client success. Before transitioning into finance, I served as the General Manager of a moving company, overseeing all daily operations and logistics. My leadership journey is also defined by my time as a collegiate offensive lineman at Grand View University and a two-time All-California selection. Today, I apply those lessons as the Assistant Head Coach for my wife’s women’s professional tackle football team, where we recently celebrated back-to-back National Championships.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. This academic foundation has been instrumental in helping me navigate the complexities of business operations, financial analysis, and strategic planning throughout my career.
When I’m off the clock, I’m usually immersed in the world of gaming; I’ve notably been ranked in the Top 100 in the world for Madden for ten consecutive years. I also enjoy streaming games like Arc Raiders, connecting with my audience through my energetic personality. On the court, I’m an elite shooter with a range that extends to half-court. While I’ve always valued time with family and trips to Las Vegas, I’ve recently caught the travel bug, exploring new destinations like the Dominican Republic, Korea, and Hawaii.
