Biography


I love working with clients and building Flagstone. However, my real passion and purpose is my family.  My wife Jill and I have been married for longer than 21 years. We have a 16-year-old son named Sam, a 12-year-old daughter named Sophie and a Labrador retriever named Rocky. We spend a lot of time watching our kids play sports, playing Uno, Monopoly and other games and trying to capture as many experiences as we can before they are out of the house. I also enjoy golfing, reading, listening to audio books and podcasts, and spending time with friends.   Juris Doctor Degree 1999, University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Law B.S. in Business Administration, Major: Economics 2008, University of Nebraska-Lincoln CERTIFIED FNIANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional 2010 14 Years of Experience in the Financial Planning Profession
