I was born and raised in the Lafayette area and graduated from ULL in Business Management. I worked in Louisiana for 20 years for a Fortune 100 company, mainly in Sales and Marketing, but had always wanted to own a small business in my hometown. We looked at many opportunities but landed on CertaPro Painters for their support, track record and culture. It was the best fit for us. We knew this business would be well received in the Lafayette area. We are in our 11th year of business.
I grew up on the south side of Lafayette. I went to Acadiana High School then USL while waiting tables at LaFonda Restaurant. I actually met and waited on my future wife, Kelley, while at LaFonda. I’ve always said she was the best tip I ever got! We have been married for 30 years and have two daughters, 21 and 23 years old. One is a Senior at LSU and the other graduated from ULL and works here in Lafayette.
When I’m not working I’m active at my church and lead the 5th grade boys small group. I was previously on the Board of Directors at Food Net. I enjoy duck hunting, birding, and photography. My wife and I love going to LSU and ULL football games.
