I am from New Orleans, & graduated from Archbishop Shaw high school, then decided to go to LSU in 2007. I graduated & played football for the LSU Tigers between 2003-2007. I am a former 2nd degree Black belt in Taekwondo. I also earned a Brown belt in Judo and a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu. I am currently married with three beautiful children. I then opened the doors to a new and prospering real estate estate company called Pennant Real Estate in November of 2014. Now we have close to 30 Realtors, & are currently ranked in the top 2% of all real estate companies registered at the Greater Baton Rouge Board of Realtors, by selling just over 57 million worth of real estate in 2017.
