I provide personalized financial guidance to people at all stages of life. At Thrivent, we view money not as a goal, but as a tool — one that can afford you a life rich in meaning and gratitude. We believe humanity thrives when individuals make the most of all they've been given. I'm here to help you do just that.


As a lifelong resident of St. Joseph, Missouri; I have a passion to help others achieve financial freedom. I am very involved in the community in which I sit on the Board of Directors at Faith-In-Action, Habitat for Humanity, and the Family Guidance Center. Even though I am very active in my hometown, our office service’s numerous locations throughout the United States.
