Specializing in retirement income planning and insurance analysis, I will work with you to customize financial strategies that reflect your goals and values. I am passionate about empowering people to save for retirement and pursue their financial dreams. No matter what your financial goals are, I will build a plan around the things that you care about most. My goal is to help you reach a place where you feel like you have enough for yourself – and to share.

I am married to my beautiful wife Shannon, and we have two children that we adore! We love living in Wisconsin and enjoy supporting local philanthropic causes. I understand that life is about those things that bring you joy and doing more with what you have. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing golf, watching sports, biking, fishing, camping, and spending time with my family. I also volunteer with the Chippewa Falls Kiwanis, Chippewa Falls Elks, Lake Hallie Optimist Club, Chippewa Falls Rotary Club and other great organizations across the Chippewa Valley.

Kari is a proud home-grown gal with deep Wisconsin Agricultural roots. Growing up on her family’s dairy farm taught her the value of hard work, resilience, and the belief that what you put in is what you get out. When not in the office, she enjoys spending quality time with family and friends. She, along with her husband and children, enjoy back road bike rides and peaceful porch sitting - it's the simple moments that bring them the most joy!

Kari became a financial advisor to be the person she wishes she’d had during her own challenging seasons—someone who truly listens, cares, and helps turn uncertainty into confidence. She believes financial guidance should be accessible, compassionate, and rooted in purpose. For her it’s all about helping individuals and families live lives rich in meaning, generosity, and peace of mind. Whether you’re just starting out, facing a transition, or planning for retirement, she’s here to walk alongside you with honest advice, thoughtful planning, and a heart committed to your success. Let her help you plant the seeds for a strong financial future and a life full of gratitude and giving.

When Hannah joined the team in 2023, she brought with her a passion for helping people, and a drive to make everyone's day a bit brighter. Her years of experience in Fraud Prevention helped her bring a unique perspective to the team, and her 6 years of experience in Health Insurance gives her some insight into the financial world. 

Hannah cherishes her down time spent with her two kids and their two dogs. She loves to spend time outdoors with her kids as much as possible, be it having bonfires, going camping, fishing, kayaking, or swimming. She is also an avid disc golfer, and spends as much time as she can with her kids out on the great courses our community offers! In the colder months, Hannah enjoys family movie and game nights, and doing crafts. Faith and family is Hannah's top priority, she loves experiencing new things and tackling the world as a team!
