Financial Associate
.I am passionate about helping people better understand their finances and use that knowledge to improve their lives. I believe financial literacy is foundational to confidence and clarity—and that informed financial decisions can positively impact every stage of life. I am especially passionate about supporting families with neurodivergent members and helping them navigate financial decisions with greater understanding and peace of mind.
I’m originally from Buffalo, New York, and have called Minnesota home since 1995. I’ve been married to my wife, Margaret, for over 30 years, and together we have four grown children. Family plays a central role in my life and continues to shape the values I bring to my work—care, responsibility, and a long‑term perspective.
Outside of work, I enjoy soccer and cheering for both Buffalo and Minnesota sports teams. Whether I’m working with clients or spending time with family and friends, I strive to bring authenticity, thoughtfulness, and a genuine commitment to helping others move forward with confidence.
