Why I Became an Advisor

Life has a interesting way of leading us to what we are meant to be doing. My path brought me to Thrivent and the purpose of helping people navigate their financial lives. I have experienced firsthand the challenges that arise when someone doesn’t have a financial plan in place, and the burden it can place on themselves and the people they care about.

The most rewarding part of my work is seeing people gain clarity and be able to relax. When there’s a plan in place, people can finally let go of the uncertainty and worries they’ve been carrying.

How We Work with Clients

Every relationship starts with a conversation. I would love the opportunity to have that conversation with you.

This business should never be about selling products. It’s about understanding your situation, your priorities, and what matters most to you. No two people or families are the same, so every plan is built specifically around your goals.

Whether you’re:

  • Building savings
  • Planning for your children’s education
  • Preparing for or navigating retirement
  • Or simply reviewing what you already have in place

I strive to meet you where you are and help you take the next step forward with confidence.

About Me

My wife and I have lived in the St. Croix Valley for over a decade. We love the area, and even convinced my parents to move here. We have two daughters who keep us busy, and a dog who enjoys waking us up in the mornings by barking at deer.

When I’m not working with clients, I’m likely, trying to entertain my kids while they still want me to, mowing the lawn, or playing mediocre golf. We’re members of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Hudson and enjoy traveling, being outdoors (when the mosquitos cooperate), and staying involved with many activities.

Let’s Connect

I primarily work with individuals and families in the East Metro of the Twin Cities and the St. Croix Valley, but the great part about technology is that I can meet with you wherever you are.

If you’d like to start a conversation, I invite you to schedule a time to visit our Lake Elmo office or connect over a video call.

I look forward to meeting you.
