As a Minot State graduate with dual degrees in Management Information Systems & Marketing, I bring 12 years of energy sector tech leadership, a Master of Business Administration, and a Harvard cybersecurity credential to financial strategy. I first joined Thrivent in 2021 establishing my own successful practice before merging with Ascend in 2025, united through a shared commitment to transparent, integrity-driven planning.
When I'm not advising clients, I can be found coaching his kids’ sports teams, officiating local hockey and football games, or sneaking in a round of golf. As a dedicated father to three kids, I find purpose in Romans 12:2’s call to approach life with renewed perspective – whether strategizing portfolios or coaching from the sidelines.
