I joined the financial services industry in 2006 with one goal in mind; helping people dream and plan for their financial goals in life. Investment products and financial planning can be intimidating and hard to understand. I take pride in providing professional and personalized advice in layman's terms. That way you can focus on your goals instead of the financial jargon and confusion that can get in the way of your success.
Education and knowledge are important to me which is why I have spent the time and energy honing my skills and earning advanced designations in my areas of specialization. (ChFC®, CRPC®) Whether you're looking for investment strategies, retirement income or financial planning, you can count on objective, experienced advice that is easy to comprehend.
I moved to Colorado in 2005, with my wife Susan, and two wonderful kids Landon and Addie. I feel blessed and fortunate to have them all in my life and when we aren't busy with Addie's soccer and Landon can take a break from CSU, we enjoy all Colorado has to offer. In the summer you're likely to find me at the lake camping, fishing and pulling a tube behind our boat. In the fall and winter I enjoy grouse, elk and pheasant hunting. Needless to say I enjoy spending time with my family and play just as hard as I work.
