My story
I grew up in New Orleans, a city that teaches you grit before it teaches you anything else. That foundation shaped how I approach everything: real estate, leadership, and life.
I started as a NASA Federal Police Lieutenant, leading 70 officers before I was 30. I learned sales through Amway and health insurance. I found real estate in 2015 and never looked back. By year four I was closing 34 deals with 10 more under contract. But my best production year was also my darkest. I fought through personal challenges, rebuilt myself from the ground up, and came out the other side with a clarity I never had before.
Today I serve as State Managing Broker and VP of Broker Operations at ENRG Realty. I oversee operations across Louisiana, and I am in the trenches with my agents every single day. Not behind a desk. In the work.

Why I chose ENRG Realty
I have worked inside traditional brokerages, helped build independent ones from scratch, and managed agents at national scale. I have seen what works and what breaks. When Erinn and Peter Nobel introduced me to ENRG, I recognized something different immediately. They built everything around one question: what does an agent actually deserve? Then they built the answer.
Keep 85% from day one. Hit your $15k cap and keep 100% after that. No games, no hidden fees, no surprises.
Connect agents naturally. ENRG handles recruiting calls, onboarding, and training through their RaaS model. You build passive income without becoming a recruiter.
Five-tiered equity program. Real ownership in ENRG from your first transaction. Every milestone you hit pays back all previous tiers. Growth compounds.
Your client database belongs to you. Export anytime, no penalties, no hoops. When you leave, everything leaves with you. That is how it should be.
Cloze CRM, RealScout buyer portal, MAXA design tools, and Brokerage Engine transaction management. All included. No monthly fees until you cap.
Real people solving real problems, with the freedom and tools of a national brokerage. No more choosing between support and independence.
"We started ENRG by asking: what experience do agents deserve? Then we built everything around that answer."

What drives me
I did not wake up one day with mental toughness. I built it. Through 75 Hard completions, sobriety, faith, and years of showing up even when I had every reason not to. That is the standard I hold myself to. And it is the standard I bring to every agent I lead.
