With more than two decades of experience as a Financial Consultant with Thrivent, I’ve had the privilege of being part of a select group of top-performing representatives who have completed advanced education and training. Prior to joining Thrivent, I worked as an executive focused on business development within music, media, and technology companies.

My wife, Kelly, and I met at Pacific Lutheran and have been married for over 35 years. We’ve raised our three daughters—Katie, Alison, and Annelise—on Mercer Island and enjoyed supporting them through their time at both the University of Washington and Washington State University. (As a "Lute", aka PLU graduate, I cheer for both—and claim Apple Cup neutrality.)

Our family moved to Mercer Island from Minnesota and has remained deeply rooted in the community. We’ve been actively involved in our church, served on non-profit boards, and value time spent at local events, sporting activities, and with extended family across Washington State.
