A Purpose-Driven Background

After retiring from the U.S. Navy following 20 years of service as a Chief Petty Officer, I knew my next chapter had to be just as purposeful. Throughout my military career, I found that one of the most rewarding parts of the job was helping my Sailors understand their pay, benefits, and investment options. That passion for mentorship—and a deep respect for how financial decisions shape lives—led me to become a financial advisor.

A Life of Balance and Family

Outside of work, I stay active with CrossFit and enjoy hiking the beautiful trails here in New Mexico. More than anything, I value quality time with my wife, Jona, and our two kids, Analeigh (10) and Dylan (6). Whether it’s exploring new spots as a family, attending local events, or just spending time outdoors together, we’re always looking for ways to enjoy life as a team. That same sense of balance and purpose is what I aim to bring to every client relationship.

Practical, Personalized, and Results-Driven

Most people don’t have the time to wade through financial jargon and endless options. That’s why I focus on making financial guidance clear, actionable, and personalized to your life. My background as a Navy Chief taught me how to lead with clarity, get things done efficiently, and break big goals into manageable steps. I bring that same mindset to financial planning, helping clients build real momentum by focusing on what they can do today. Whether you're a young professional trying to build a strong foundation or a small business owner juggling competing priorities, I’ll help you create a plan that’s realistic, results-driven, and easy to stick with.
