FIC

I bring over two decades of experience with Thrivent, specializing in the comprehensive design and management of retirement strategies. My expertise encompasses considerations such as diversification, allocation, and protective measures to ensure long-term financial success.


I currently reside in Wadsworth with my spouse, Maggie, and our two children, Mia and Michael. Our family is actively involved in the Bethel Lutheran Church in Gurnee. Outside of work, I enjoy hobbies such as horology (the study of time and timepieces), basketball, and spending quality time with my family.

    I joined Thrivent as a client in 1996 and became a Financial Advisor in 2014. My 26 years at W.W. Grainger allowed me to develop people, teams, manage inventory, grow sales, and improve productivity. Now as a Financial Advisor I assess financial needs of individuals and helping them make decisions on investments, tax laws, and insurance. I also help clients plan for short and long-term goals, such as budgeting for educational expenses and saving for retirement through investments.   

     

    I live in Lindenhurst, IL with my wife, Rhonda. We enjoy spending time with our sons, Joseph, and Daniel’s family, typical vacations include hiking and getting outdoors. My hobbies include photography, fishing, gardening, hiking and lately puzzles.
