Growing up a Bismarck native, I soaked in the timeless Midwestern values and strong work ethic. In high school and college, I found myself working full-time or even over-time hours in search of growing my knowledge of various industries and eventually management. From early on in my working career, back at Dan’s Supermarket, I knew, I wanted to be a leader. 

My entrepreneurial spirit ignited during college, where I had many ideas that never panned out. In 2019, I connected with Debbie and began my journey to becoming a financial advisor. As it turned out, being a Financial Advisor was not quite what I expected; I pictured myself sitting at a desk with 4 computer screens trading stocks daily. Instead, I found it comes with a much greater purpose; the ability to lead clients to greater financial clarity and prosperity. Driven by a genuine desire to coach others, being good with numbers and having a passion for problem solving has allowed me to flourish as a financial advisor.

Becoming a successful financial advisor doesn’t happen without a great support system. My wife Paige is my biggest fan and does anything she can to help me succeed. We love to travel, whether that is weekend trips to Brush Lake with my family or international trips such as Europe or somewhere in the Caribbean; Paige even made it to all 50 US states prior to age 30! We live in NW Bismack, no kids yet, but do have an adorable, and often sassy, cat named Luna.

I’m grateful to be a Thrivent financial advisor to help guide members through their complicated financial journeys with values that are ingrained in Christianity. I truly enjoy working with all clients, but my talents are best utilized when working with small business owners on their business protection and transition strategies, and with clients looking to understand and maximize how their assets will transfer to their beneficiaries efficiently upon their passing.
