About Me

As a Financial Advisor with Thrivent, I help families, professionals, and retirees simplify financial decisions and create strategies aligned with their goals and values. I joined Thrivent in 2020 and am honored to continue a family legacy as a fourth-generation Thrivent Financial Advisor.


Growing up in the Fox Valley and now living in Kimberly with my wife, Whitney, has given me a strong appreciation for the people and communities I serve. My approach begins with listening, understanding what matters most to you, and helping you create a plan designed to provide clarity and confidence for the future.


Outside of work, I enjoy coaching youth soccer, sports, spending time with family and friends, and staying involved in the local community.

What We Help With

Financial decisions often come with a lot of questions.

  • Am I saving enough for retirement?
  • What should I do with an old 401(k)?
  • When should I claim Social Security?
  • How do I protect my family if something happens to me?
  • Am I invested appropriately for my goals?

Together, we'll create a strategy designed around your unique situation and priorities.


Whether you're preparing for retirement, changing jobs, growing your family, or simply looking for a second opinion, I can help you make confident decisions.

Who We Work With

Young Professionals

A strong financial future often starts with good decisions early.

We help young professionals navigate:

  • Workplace retirement plans
  • Student loans
  • Investing basics
  • Insurance needs
  • Saving for future goals


Families

Life moves quickly. Between careers, mortgages, children, and everyday responsibilities, it can be difficult to know if you're making the right financial decisions.

  • We help families build a strong financial foundation and create a plan for the future.


Pre-Retirees

If retirement is five to ten years away, now may be one of the most important planning periods.

  • We'll help you evaluate savings, income sources, Social Security decisions, healthcare costs, and retirement readiness.


Retirees

Retirement creates a new set of questions.

  • How much can I spend?
  • How should I withdraw income?
  • Will I have enough?

We help retirees create sustainable income strategies and navigate the financial decisions that come with this next chapter of life.
