Financial Advisor
.
I’m a Financial Associate serving families and businesses in the Decatur area. I’m passionate about helping clients pursue meaningful goals while still having enough to give back to the communities they care about. That balance—planning wisely and living generously—drives every conversation I have.
My wife, Chelsea, and I were married on August 12, 2017. We’re blessed with three daughters: Callie (10) and twins Reese and Rylan (almost 7). When I’m not meeting with clients, you’ll often find us together on the local golf course or spending weekends at my in‑laws’ lake cottage. We also love to travel whenever we can.
Our family worships at Zion Church, and our children attend Zion School in Decatur. I volunteer regularly at Zion and serve on the school board—work that keeps me connected to the values and needs of our community.
My business is in growth mode, but it’s equally important to me to invest time with current clients—checking in, refining strategies, and being there when life changes. If you’re looking for a partner who listens first and builds a plan around your priorities, I’d be honored to connect and learn what matters most to you.
I’m proud to call Decatur home and love being involved in the place where we’re raising our family. You’ll often find me on the sidelines coaching my daughters’ soccer and softball teams or pitching in for our annual German Fest. Our family worships at Zion Church, where I volunteer, and I also serve on the local school board to help support students, families and teachers.
A new highlight this year: I’m participating as a dancer in Dancing with the Stars, a community fundraiser benefiting Easter Seals Inc. It’s a fun way to support an organization doing meaningful work for neighbors in need.
Whether it’s on the field, at church, in the school, or at community events, I’m grateful for every chance to give back and stay connected with the people who make Decatur special.
