I’m thrilled to be a part of the Texana Bank family after enjoying 13+ years as an attorney in private practice. As an attorney, I did many things – ranging from public policy to commercial real estate to a highly specialized sector of employment contracts for high-profile clients. I continue to practice law, but I limit the scope of my practice to the nonprofit sector and pro bono matters.
I believe in the value of hard work. As a Nashville native, I used the profits I earned from raising and showing Holstein dairy cattle to help pay for college and law school – both at The University of Tennessee at Knoxville. During law school, I co-founded the College of Law Speaker Series; clerked for a respected local judge; served as Speaker of the House of the Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature; worked for the General Counsel to a major commercial real estate development firm; clerked for a noted trial lawyer and served on the TENNESSEE LAW REVIEW.
Every day, my goal is to simplify what’s become a very complex process for homebuyers and homeowners. My goal is to make sure my clients fully understand their loan options. I also believe in never turning down a client. If a client needs credit help or to work on reducing their debt or increasing their savings, we work together every step of the way until they achieve their goal of home ownership.
In my free time, I volunteer in my community and spend time with my rescue dogs, Dolly, Lurlene, Rhythm and a rotating cast of foster dogs.
