About Me
About Me

My 30 years in the financial industry have taken me from my roots in Zelienople, to city life in The Big Apple, and back to PA to my current home in the east end of Pittsburgh. I began my journey as a financial consultant with Thrivent in 2006, and I'm so grateful to be in a career where I can help my clients lead more content, confident and generous lives.


I am blessed to spend my life with my soul mate and wife, Anna Marie, and our amazing daughter Christina. Anna Marie is very involved in the community through our church, volunteering with local charitable organizations, and helping out with Homewood school events.


Outside of my Thrivent practice, I have a great love for music, especially composing and writing lyrics (read on below to learn about my band, MilePost6). My favorite song of all time is Kashmir by Led Zepplin, but I have a long, long list of other classic rock influences and favorites. I also love traveling with my family and catching every Marvel movie, especially anything featuring Captain America.
