Financial Consultant
.
Building strong relationships with clients desiring quality financial guidance is the center of my business model. Having met the requirements to be a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner, I strive to deliver comprehensive and objective advice to individuals, couples and families looking for financial education which may include insurance products and investments. Being wise with finances, living generous lives and working towards financial contentment are my top goals when dealing with clients. When not engaged with clients, you will find me enjoying time outdoors with family in the Sioux Falls area. My wife Sarah and I have four beautiful children who keep us laughing, busy and on our toes at all times. I am active at Our Saviors Lutheran Church and serve on the board of a non-profit, Breathe Bravely, which builds awareness and education for Cystic Fibrosis.
