Senior Advisor

What makes the Gulf Coast stand out to you?

I have very fond memories of traveling to the Mississippi Gulf Coast each summer for family vacations, and any place along the Coast remains my favorite spot to relax.

What got you into this business?

I always have been drawn to communications and marketing related programs and projects, and my education at UNO prepared me for this. New Orleans and Louisiana has always been filled with opportunities to achieve results.

Who has been a big influence in your career?

My Dad, Jerry and Mom, Janice have been the biggest influence on my career. Dad is actually the one that pushed me to take an interest test while in college. And the rest is history.

If you weren’t in PR, what would you be doing?

Well, that interest test at UNO had me scoring the highest on being a Missionary, a YMCA Counselor and a Funeral Director. Perhaps one of those.

What is your method for coming up with ideas and solutions for clients?

I always strive to put myself in my client’s shoes, apply a level of empathy and get a sense of where we may need to go to get the results that are needed.
