26 Years of Executive Level Experience in the Banking Industry

Originally starting my banking career in Lafayette, Louisiana, with a combination of operations and commercial lending experience, I built a reputation that afforded me the opportunity to turnaround a failed bank bought from the FDIC by a group of investors in 1986. As President, I quickly transformed Louisiana Delta Bank into a high-performance bank. I exceeded investor goals by developing updated operational systems, reducing operational cost through the implementation of technology, and acquiring a large agricultural loan portfolio. In 1997 I assumed the role of CFO of the bank holding company, which owned Louisiana Delta Bank, other banks and loan related businesses. I left banking in 1998 to return home to South Louisiana and establish my Part-Time CFO and business consulting practice.
