About

I'm an investor building wealth through strategic real estate acquisitions and capital markets analysis. As a Senior Software Engineer at Live Oak Bank, I focus on AI strategy—positioning the organization to harness emerging technology while avoiding the noise.

My competitive advantage lies in bridging two worlds: I understand financial fundamentals and market dynamics, but I also possess the technical depth to critically assess AI tools and separate transformative applications from overhyped solutions.

Originally from the Carolinas. Clemson graduate.
