About Me
About Me

My wife and I live just east of the St. Louis area in Columbia, IL. We enjoy working out together, travelling, and spending time with friends and family. We decided to come on board at Thrivent to make an impact in our community, seeking ways to better the financial wellbeing of people that we know and love.


I'm proud to be a Thrivent financial professional. I provide personalized financial guidance to people at all stages of life, seeking creative and innovate ways to help individuals, families, businesses, and churches identify and achieve their financial goals.


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.
