Drawn to financial freedom for myself and for others, my experience in the financial industry here in Central Ohio includes supporting clients with holistic planning to meet them where they are at. . As a Thrivent Financial Representative, I'm blessed to provide financial guidance to clients looking to develop their personal portfolios, invest in their future and manage their money in a way that works for them. I am a retired US Air Force Veteran, with over 15 years of service. In my downtime, I enjoy travelling the world with my wife, Sameen, working on various service projects, watching the Columbus Crew SC (catch me at the next game!).

As a Chartered Special Needs Consultant, I focus my practice around serving individuals and their loved ones with disabilities, health concerns, transitional and complex resource planning. I bring a unique perspective not only as a parent to a child with multiple medical complexities but as an adult with a mobility disability. I understand the complexities that such planning entails and know how critical it is to work with professionals who understand those complexities. I primarily work out of our Medina office, however I also work with individuals throughout the country virtually.

I have obtained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional designation, with more than three decades in the business. An educator by training, I often counseled people about money in prior jobs, so it was a natural progression to want to provide financial guidance in a more formal way. It is rare when a company that seems too good to be true, really ends up being true. As a Thrivent member, I quickly realized it was not only a company that worked for me and my family, but a company I could be proud to work for as well.

When I'm not in the office, I love working on construction projects and traveling. The Thrivent Builds partnership with Habitat for Humanity has enabled me to support my favorite charity through volunteering locally, serving on the Habitat for Humanity Mid-Ohio Board, and leading Global Village teams to work with Habitat for Humanity affiliates in El Salvador and elsewhere around the world. I must admit, though, my favorite role these days is "Papa" to my five grandchildren.

I'm proud to be a Thrivent financial professional. I provide personalized financial guidance to people at all stages of life. 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.

I am an Insurance Licenses Office Professional for Cornerstone Financial Advisors and have worked for Thrivent since August 2007. My passion is Customer Service and connecting with our members to give them the best experience possible. My goal is to treat every situation as if it were my own and give the same attention to detail to ensure our member's needs are met. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. We enjoy traveling, board/ card games, bike rides, and walking.
