I work with small business owners and families for their investment and finacial planning needs.  I graduated from Clemson University, in Clemson, SC, in 2002 with a major in Management and a minor in Finance, with a focus on financial planning.  After four years of work experience I enrolled in UT's CFP(r) program, completed the required coursework, and ultimately became a Certified Financial Planner (tm) in December of 2007.  SWS Financial Services is a subsidiary of SWS Group which is based in Dallas and manages over $4.4 billion in assets.  Being an independent advisor, I am able to put conflicts of interest aside and always keep the interests of my clients ahead of the interests of my firm.  In my free time, my wife and I enjoy playing tennis and waterskiing on Lake Austin.
