I am a proud husband, father, and believer in God. My wife Mandy and I were college sweethearts and met at Washington State University (Go Cougs!) while I was working in the athletic department and Mandy was playing for the women’s golf team. In 2010, after both graduating from WSU, we moved back to Mandy’s hometown in Spokane and were married the following year. We welcomed our daughter Kennedy into our lives in 2020 and soon after we welcomed our son Brody in 2023. While not working you can usually find me hanging out with my family, golfing, hunting, or making memories on our boat out on Lake Coeur d’Alene during the summers. We have been members of Valley Real Life church in Spokane Valley since 2010 where I also serve on their Elder board. We also enjoy supporting our local nonprofits such as Family Promise, Vitalant, Lutherhaven and HRC.

The first time I knew I wanted to be a financial advisor goes all the way back to high school after taking my first DECA business course. After completing my finance degree from WSU, I started as a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual in Spokane. In 2012 I was offered the opportunity to work with Thrivent, which was an amazing blessing as I was able to align my faith with my desire to help clients navigate their financial journey. In 2019, I joined Thrivent’s leadership team where I had the privilege of coaching and training up new advisors in the Northwest region as a Market Developer, all while continuing to run my practice and service my existing clients. While I still very much enjoy teaching this business to new advisors, after 3.5 years of the Market Developer role I realized my true joy was helping to advise my own clients so in 2023 I officially returned to the financial advising role full time. In addition to serving my Spokane clients in our downtown Spokane office, I also joined up with a fantastic team, Lakeside Financial Group, where I have a second office in Coeur d’Alene, ID to serve our growing client base in north Idaho.
