Our team

I spent the first part of my career as a teacher and a basketball coach. At Thrivent, I’m still teaching and coaching—but it’s a different lesson and game. No matter what your financial goals, achieving them requires a game plan. Whether you are just starting out in your career or preparing for retirement, I will advise how to use strategies, solutions, products and investments to help position you for success. 

I got into this business to help people. I have been a lifelong learner and former coach and I bring these aspects from my experience to my clients every day. I am a father of three little ones and our family has owned a small business for years. I am ready to help our clients no matter where they are in their life story. 

I joined Thrivent in 2011 as an office professional and have grown along with the practice into various positions throughout my career. My current role within the team focuses on preparing, developing, and executing financial plans and strategies to help our clients achieve their goals. I feel extremely fortunate to serve in this capacity while utilizing my strengths and passion for helping others put the pieces of their financial puzzle together.

I started my Thrivent career in 2004 as a financial professional. In 2007, I was invited to join field leadership and spent the next 12 years leading, growing and developing financial professionals across Eastern Iowa. In 2019, I made the decision to return to the financial advisor role and am honored and thrilled to be back in the role where I began. No matter what financial goals you may have, I enjoy taking the time to build relationships that guide you toward achieving your goals. 

Twenty-six years in the funeral service industry gave me the opportunity to share my gifts as a reliable resource. Those years allowed me to build warm, personal relationships while helping people navigate through difficult-to-discuss topics and situations. As a financial advisor, I have been able to continue sharing valuable advice with our clients. 

I joined Thrivent in 2007, previously spending 16 years in the medical community. As an office nurse, I helped people take care of their physical health. I am still helping people, except now I am focusing on helping people with their financial health. Life happens and there are so many financial journeys you will be on—my goal is to put a plan in place to help guide you seamlessly through them. I currently work out of two offices, one in Hiawatha and one in Coralville. I would love to meet you at either one to work on your financial strategy.
