I know that after family and friends, money is usually the next thing people care most about. As they say, money can’t buy you happiness...but it can offer freedom and flexibility in life. Therefore, I work to achieve that for all my clients and their families.
I see myself as real-world, down-to-earth person that has a passion for helping like-minded clients better their financial lives. I have chosen Osaic Wealth, Inc. as my broker-dealer because it allows me to be an independent, fiduciary advisor with no corporate agenda that can put the goals of my clients first and foremost without conflicts of interest.

Who are you at work?
At work I am totally and whole-heartedly there for my clients. I understand the trust clients put in me so I want to work as hard as I can to make their financial dreams and goals become a reality. I am a tech nerd so I bring a modern, high-tech way to financial planning for my clients.
What keeps you coming back to the office every day?
I love the fact that my job allows a good balance of interacting with people and digging deep into a complex financial problem to find a solution for client. This balance between the two usually means my day to day is never the same and keeps me on my toes to hone my skills.
Why do you do this type of work?
Sure, there is pride from the fact that you helped with a client’s investment portfolio or financial plan. However, the main reason why I do what I do comes when I work side-by-side with a client over time and actually make an impact on their lives through our planning. The way I work is not a one-time transaction but rather a series of conversations or meetings developing a plan that can span years. There is a sense of trust in one another that develops with this way of working and this is what I love most about my work.
Where are you from?
I am from Butte Montana originally. I went to college at Marian University in Fond du Lac, WI.
What do you do away from work?
I have a lovely wife, Bri, and two children Tripp and Cecilia. We spend as much time as we can outdoors hiking, skiing, and playing sports (granted we do love our movie times!) Hockey has been a big part of my life playing in college and in the minor leagues. It taught me a lot about how to face the challenges of life as an adult so now I try to help not only my kids, but kids in the youth and high school organizations in my community learn those same lessons for life as well.
