I spent 35 years in Manufacturing Operations Management before making the decision to pursue a career focused on helping others make the most of their hard earned resources.

Thrivent has provided me with the opportunity to live out my faith while also encouraging me to make an impact in my communities.

My mission is to provide financial guidance, education,

recommendations and strategies to meet your needs no matter what stage of life you are in or are looking forward to.

Leveraging your values and beliefs, I strive to bring clarity to your goals and plans while utilizing a holistic approach to retirement, tax efficiency, income protection, investments and generosity.

I focus on the communities I have lived in for the last 30 years...Apple Valley, Rosemount, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville and Burnsville. But I serve the entire Twin Cities and am licensed in several states including Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Arizona and Florida.

My wife Polly and I have been married for 40 years, raised 2 sons and are now enjoying the blessing of grandchildren. We are active biking, running (I have run 29 marathons) , hiking, climbing and other outdoor challenges.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are focused on continuing to grow in our faith and sharing his love with others.

I am a widowed, father of a bunch of kids. We love life and live it to the fullest each day! We spend time sailing, skiing, 4-wheeling, being outdoors, music, traveling, and sitting by the fire. 

Much of my life was dedicated to public service, serving people at the local and federal government level (Public Works, Law Enforcement, Fire Fighting, Seach and Rescue/Recovery, and Administration). I served the communities of Richfield and Northfield, Minnesota. In addition, I am a Veteran of the United States Coast Guard.
