I’m originally from Northwest Indiana, where I still live today with my wife, Shauna, and our four children. Family is at the center of everything I do, and it’s a big part of why I’m so passionate about helping others build strong financial foundations.
My background is a bit unconventional. I spent 10 years showing sheep in 4-H and worked in dairy farming for 8 years, experiences that taught me discipline, work ethic, and the value of long-term thinking. Those lessons still shape how I approach financial planning today.
Outside of work, I train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where I’ve learned the importance of consistency, adaptability, and staying calm under pressure, principles I carry into my work with clients.
As a financial planner, I focus on more than just investments, I help clients think through the bigger picture, including retirement, tax strategies, estate planning, and cash flow. My goal is to simplify the complex and give people clarity and confidence in their financial lives.
I believe financial planning should be approachable, practical, and built around your real life, not just numbers on a page. Whether you’re building, growing, or protecting what you’ve worked hard for, I’m here to help guide you every step of the way.
