How do you occupy your free time?

My wife, Ashley, and I have been married for 10 years.  Ashley is a realtor at Sibcy Cline out of the Middletown/Monroe office. Our lives revolve around our dog Maxwell. We enjoy all things fitness, watching football, and playing golf.

How long have you lived in Middletown?

I am originally from Mason, OH and currently reside in Liberty TWP. I am a District Leader at First Financial Bank. I oversee the Northern Cincinnati and Southern Dayton Retail Markets. I have been with First Financial Bank for five years, all of which I have proudly been based out of Middletown. My team and I strive to better the Middletown community and positively impact those individuals who live and work here. I am proud to say I am a United States Marine Corps Veteran. I spent five years in the Marine Corps infantry. I concluded my service with an honorable discharge as an E-5, Sergeant in 2017. I led an infantry platoon with 3^rd Battalion, 2^nd Marine Division as a Platoon Sergeant, in charge of approximately 60 Marines. I put myself through college while in the USMC and during the time shortly after. I earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Valdosta State University in Valdosta, Georgia.

What are your musical inspirations?

My musical inspiration comes primarily from my dad. Some of my fondest childhood memories are listening to music and singing with my dad. My dad and I spent countless hours together around a basement stereo and in the car listening to Rascal Flatts, Carlos Santana, 3 Doors Down, and so much more.

Why do you support CBI Middletown?

I support CBI because like CBI, both First Financial Bank and I are passionate about the education of the youth in the Middletown area. First Financial Bank has partnered with CBI in this effort through financial education for many. We look forward to continuing that partnership!

Are you ready to rock? 

Join us Thursday, June 26th at the Historic Sorg Opera House for an electric night full of singing, dancing, and community. Your favorite local celebrities are ready to take to the stage and they need a rockin' crowd to cheer them on. During the concert, patrons can look forward to seeing our performers backed by a live band (Live Your Dream), a moving performance by our Middletown students, and a special presentation from Dayton's very own Zapp band! A General Admission ticket grants you entry the Sorg, but purchase a VIP ticket to enjoy festivities at the Windamere before the big show. The VIP event is an opportunity to mingle with the performers and other guests and includes catered food, drink tickets, a photo booth, and more. We look forward to seeing you there!
