What I Do

Everyone’s financial journey is different. Whether you’re building a foundation, preparing for retirement, navigating a life transition, or thinking about your legacy, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence.

Before we talk about numbers, we focus on what matters most...your goals, your family, and what you want your life to look like.

As a Financial Advisor with Thrivent, I take a holistic, relationship-driven approach to planning. I look at your goals, values, and priorities and build a strategy aligned with the life you want to live. I help simplify complex decisions and provide guidance in key areas:

Retirement planning
Investment management
Protection planning
Wealth accumulation
Legacy planning

My role is to bring clarity, structure, and ongoing partnership...so your plan evolves as your life does.

At the end of the day, it’s not just about finances...it’s about helping you live with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Who I Help

I work with individuals, families, and business owners who want thoughtful guidance and a long-term partner in their financial journey.

Many of my clients are:

Professionals and families building and protecting their financial future
Individuals navigating life transitions such as career changes, retirement, or loss of a loved one
Pre-retirees and retirees looking to turn years of hard work into a sustainable income plan
Values-driven individuals who want their financial decisions aligned with what matters most
People who appreciate a relationship-first approach over transactional advice

While each client’s situation is unique, they all share a common goal...to make confident decisions and create a plan that supports the life they want to live.

My "Why"

In 2012, my wife and I got married and began our blended family. Like many families, we were navigating big decisions, competing priorities, and a future that sometimes felt overwhelming. During that season, working with a financial professional brought clarity when we needed it most — and that experience stuck with me. After many years in IT leadership, I realized I wanted my work to be more personal. I wanted to walk alongside others as they navigate important life transitions, helping them find clarity and confidence along the way. Thrivent’s purpose‑driven, people‑first approach aligned deeply with that calling, and it’s why I chose to build my next chapter here. I’m grateful for the journey that led me here and for the opportunity to serve my community in a meaningful and authentic way. If you’d like to hear more about my journey, I’m always happy to connect.

Outside of Work

When I’m not working with clients, I’m usually spending time with the people who matter most...my family, friends, and church community. Building meaningful relationships is important to me, and I try to be intentional about investing my time in the people around me.

I also enjoy cooking, grilling, and hosting events at our house. Whether it is holiday meals or a "just because" gathering of friends. My family and I love traveling, exploring new places, and trying new local restaurants...while creating memories.

As a proud North Carolina sports fan, you’ll often find me cheering on the Carolina Panthers, Tar Heels, and Hurricanes. No matter the season, I enjoy following my teams and the sense of connection and excitement that sports bring.
