My Approach

My interest in the energy sector began with hands-on exposure to drilling operations and cryogenic gas processing. This experience, combined with my background in Accounting and Tax, allows me to bring a unique perspective to renewable energy projects. I specialize in helping developers, lenders, and investors navigate and maximize the benefits of tax credit financing, turning clean energy initiatives into financially viable ventures.

Outside of work, you can catch my attention during Spring by yelling “Throw Me Something” as I parade Mardi Gras Weekend in Metairie, Louisiana (a suburb of New Orleans) as a member of the Krewe of Athena, catch me throughout Summer cheering on the Minnesota Lynx, or catch me every Fall cheering on the New Orleans Saints!
