South Louisiana is home for me. I was born and raised here and couldn't imagine calling any other place home. The culture, people, and, of course, the food, make South Louisiana such a unique place to live, visit, and play. With the Gulf of Mexico, the many lakes, and the abundance of wetlands, there is always something exciting to do. Growing up I enjoyed many summers with my family boating in Lake Pontchartrain, fishing in Bayou des Allemands and Lake Salvador with my dad, and vacations to Biloxi, Mississippi. We would sometimes fish for Flounder at night or just enjoy the beach and water during the day.

Most of my professional life has been spent in the oil and gas industry. In the early days I spent time working in the Gulf of Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico. I then got promoted to the company's Lafayette, LA office to help develop and implement a mobile data collection system. I remained in Lafayette until a company merger, at which time I was transferred to Houston, TX. I remained there for 12 years working various projects.

It became time for a change and new experiences. I retired after thirty four years with one of the major oil and gas corporations. My wife and I settled back in Lafayette to enjoy more time with our children and grandchildren, and begin a new chapter in our life.

I enjoy meeting new people and would enjoy getting to know you. I will do my best to find that dream boat or RV that you have been searching for!
