Who has had the most influence on you, and why?
My parents had the greatest influence on me. They emphasized personal responsibility, curiosity, and the importance of steady effort over shortcuts. That mindset shaped how I approach both my career and the CFA Program: showing up consistently, doing the work thoroughly, and taking ownership of outcomes.
What made you decide to pursue the CFA charter?
I've always found finance and economics interesting, but I was drawn to the CFA Program because of its reputation for rigor. I wanted to challenge myself while building a deeper, more structured understanding of investment analysis, risk, and capital markets beyond my real estate background.
What do you enjoy most about your current professional role?
I enjoy solving complex, real-world problems where finance, strategy, and judgment intersect. My role allows me to evaluate investments, assess risk, and think long-term about capital allocation while working closely with the ownership group regarding investment and financing decisions. No two days or deals are ever the same.
What is the best advice you've ever received?
“The more prepared I am, the luckier I get.” It is a reminder that what often appears to be luck is usually the result of consistent preparation, discipline, and doing the work long before the outcome is visible.
What motivated you to join CFA Society Mississippi?
During my final year at LSUS, I was honored to receive the CFA Society Mississippi award, presented by longtime CFA Society Mississippi member, Dick Seale of Adkins Seale Capital Management. That experience and encouragement played a major role in motivating me to pursue the CFA Program. The cost of my first exam and prep was covered, and that support created a lasting sense of loyalty.
What advice would you give a current or potential candidate?
Strap yourself in. You have to want it, and it’s going to be harder than you think. There will be moments where quitting feels very reasonable. But if you stay consistent, commit to the process, and keep showing up, it will be absolutely worth it.
