I've been with Thrivent since 2014. Before then I worked in ministry and non-profit leadership roles in Chicago. My interest in business and community impact led me to become a financial advisor with Thrivent. I now live in Morton with my wife Brooke, our three kids and our cockapoo, Gigi. We attend Grace Church.

My areas of expertise include:

  • Business owner strategies
  • Retirement income planning
  • Wealth transfer and legacy planning
