I’ve been in the insurance and banking industry since 2006, starting as a banker and later transitioning into financial services. I’ve always had a passion for helping people secure their financial futures, and after years of experience, I’m proud to focus on asset preservation and wealth distribution, particularly for those approaching retirement.
My approach is simple: I put people in the best position to achieve their financial goals. It's something I learned from my dad, a high school teacher, who instilled in me the value of helping others. My own family experiences, especially when it comes to retirement planning, have deepened my commitment to this work. I’m genuinely passionate about supporting clients as they prepare for a comfortable and secure future.
I’ve always dreamed of owning my own business, and being in this field has allowed me to do just that. I love the ability to provide personalized, thoughtful guidance to every client I work with. Beyond the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife Peggy, our sons Zach and Matthew, and our dog Cinder. Whether we’re attending a sporting event, taking a road trip, fishing, or just relaxing by a fire pit, I cherish the time spent with loved ones. Cooking is another way I unwind and create special moments with those I care about.
