Financial Advisor
.
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 was born and raised in Wichita not far from my office. My wife Laura and I have three boys ages 14, 12, and 10. They keep us quite busy!
One of the greatest things about having a flexible schedule is the ability it gives me to share my time with organizations that are important to me and my family.
