About us

The Consortium’s CEO grew up in Lancaster, Ohio and studied History and Political Science at Ohio University. A planned path to law school changed course when an early role in banking sparked a lasting passion for capital markets and comprehensive financial planning. Today, he guides The Consortium’s firmwide strategy—shaping planning standards, overseeing investment philosophy, and developing advisor talent.

Since co-founding the firm in 2018, he has built a high-performing advisory platform with more than fifty professionals operating across ten states. His north star is simple: deliver clear, conflict-aware advice that helps families and business owners make smarter decisions about risk, taxes, cash flow, and legacy.

Away from the office, he supports arts education as a board member of the Northshore Performing Arts Center and volunteers with organizations throughout the New Orleans area. He has two daughters—Catherine and Caitlyn—and, as a lifelong golfer, he credits the game for reinforcing the same values he expects in advisory work: honor, pride, and honesty.

Before leading The Consortium, he built his reputation inside the insurance and benefits arena. He began at a major carrier, quickly earning leader’s-level status and qualifying for the Million Dollar Round Table seven consecutive years. His success and mentoring mindset led to his appointment as General Agent for Ameritas Life Insurance Company in New Orleans, where he grew a multi-state agency footprint and trained advisors in advanced protection strategies.

His technical focus spans individual life and disability insurance, executive and key-person coverage, buy-sell funding, and tax-advantaged benefit designs. On the group side, he consults on medical, ancillary, and voluntary benefits—aligning plan design, compliance, and enrollment strategy to help employers compete for talent while managing cost.

He started Consortium to bring this protection-first approach under one roof with wealth planning. He continues to coach advisors on underwriting, carrier selection, and case design, ensuring clients receive durable, needs-based coverage. When not meeting with employers or carriers, you’ll likely find him giving back in the New Orleans community—or chasing one more birdie on the golf course.

As a seasoned professional with over 10 years in the insurance industry, I bring a dual perspective to my roles as Manager of Business Development and Insurance Agent. This unique combination allows me to seamlessly blend strategic planning with client-centered service, specializing in auto, home, life, and business insurance, as well as sales leadership, market expansion, and relationship management.

In my business development role, I focus on uncovering growth opportunities, crafting innovative strategies, and building enduring partnerships that enhance both revenue and client value. As an insurance agent, I collaborate closely with individuals and businesses to create customized coverage solutions that safeguard their assets and provide peace of mind.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, staying active, and contributing to community initiatives. I am passionate about merging my expertise in business development with my commitment to exceptional client service, consistently driving results that benefit both the company and the clients we serve.

I am originally from Natchitoches, La., and began my insurance career in 1988 as a Multi-Line insurance agent with the Louisiana Farm Bureau serving the family market. I have earned various sales awards including Rookie of the Year, Agent of the Year, the National Sales Achievement Award, and Million Dollar Round Table multiple times. In 1996 I accepted a position with a company in South Louisiana, and moved his family to the Baton Rouge area, where he continues to live today. In 1998, I was offered a position with Hibernia Bank Private Client Group, where I earned the title of Vice- President and became a member of the coveted CEO CIRCLE. In 2006, I was offered the position of Statewide Brokerage Director at the Louisiana Agency of MassMutual where I began recruiting and supporting independent agents with sales ideas, case design, presentation and closing business with high end independent producers.In between my two stints at MassMutual Louisiana, I was Regional Vice President for Ohio National in Louisiana and Southern Arkansas. My experience with recruiting and developing independent agents is what prompted my joining The Consortium in 2018, where I am now Associate General Agent. My wife Mari and I have two adult children, two grandchildren, and one dog, Libby. My hobbies include traveling, fishing, golfing, cooking outdoors and enjoying family, friends, and of course, grandchildren.

I began my career in the insurance industry more than 13 years ago and have represented many different insurance and personal protection products. For seven of those years, my practice consisted primarily of passionately assisting Medicare beneficiaries with obtaining health products and federal and state assistance. More recently, I have expanded my practice and now focus on helping businesses, small and large, with business development and employee benefits.

I am honored to represent The Consortium and to work with other professionals to assist with all business development needs! I am responsible for bringing The Consortium into Central and North Louisiana. I’ll be training and growing a team of passionate and knowledgeable professionals, developing relationships and creating opportunities for business owners, and creatively assisting business owners with comprehensive, customized benefit packages.

When I am not working, my absolute favorite thing to do is to just be with my family; it doesn’t matter what we are doing. Some of my other hobbies include cooking, reading, writing, and traveling. Over the years, I have worked diligently to obtain education, licensing, and certifications, and to learn from experience to ensure that I perform my duties with knowledge, passion, and understanding. I have learned that to truly help, we must first understand. I am proud to have received numerous accolades throughout my career; however, the true reward has always been making a difference in the lives of my clients. I am committed to continuing to help and serve my clients and to perform my job with professionalism, honesty, and integrity. It is my goal to always be a valued resource.
