Retirement Planning
My parents instilled in me the value of education. When I started in my profession almost a decade ago, I was surprised by how many "professionals" substituted sales knowledge for education.
In these times, it is important to have the education and experience to navigate retirement. For many of my clients, it is their first retirement - for me, we're nearing a hundred. The ability to help individuals navigate the complexity of retiring with dignity has been rewarding and my life's calling.
Through my designations, I'm able to bring new strategies to clients needing Retirement Income or creating strategies for Extended Care. With ground breaking technology like Money Guide Pro and What-If-Tax, my clients are able to see their plans on demand while making adjustments during quarterly reviews.
Finally, through my partnerships, I'm able to bring solutions from a variety of resources besides Thrivent. From Prudential to Vanguard, I'm better equipped to help you discover your path forward.
My wife and I are dedicated to helping Christian Families navigate their wealth journey. Deuteronomy 8:18 tells us to “Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth.” Both of our families taught us that God takes no pleasure in us living paycheck to paycheck or having debt control our lives. Why? We believe God gave all of us the ability to produce wealth SO THAT we could gain in wisdom (James 1:5), prioritize generosity (Proverbs 11:25), display our faith to those in need (2 Co 9:6), and positively impact our future families (Proverbs 13:22).
Our practice is built around amplifying your impact through our experience, knowledge, and resources. In short, we want all of our clients to have a positive impact on their faith, families, and their futures.
Besides helping out our families, we find value in modeling generosity for our two kids – Ben and Noah. In return, they model for us the child-like joy in things that money can never provide. Our desire is that our clients can move towards a path of financial independence and focus on what truly matters.
Our growing practice has allowed us to positively impact those around us. In January 2025, we were able to write our largest check to date to support the ministry of Reach Out Pregnancy Center and the families they serve. We couldn’t have done this without our amazing clients and partnership churches.
