As a native of Ponca, Nebraska, I’m proud to serve the community where I grew up and the surrounding areas. I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and served six years in the Nebraska Air National Guard. My wife, Connor, and I now reside in Vermillion, South Dakota.

Before joining Thrivent, I spent more than a decade as a community banker in Ponca, helping individuals and families navigate their financial needs. During that time, I developed a passion for building lasting relationships and helping people make informed financial decisions. That experience ultimately inspired me to pursue a career where I could serve my community in a broader and more meaningful way.

As a financial advisor with Thrivent, I’m committed to helping individuals and families pursue their financial goals with clarity and confidence. I value taking the time to understand what matters most to each person and helping them build a financial strategy that aligns with their goals and values.
