Biography


I’m a proud graduate of North Central College with a BA Economics and the Executive Financial Planner program at Bryant University. In addition, I hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation – exemplifying my commitment to the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in the industry. While I’m not busy in the office crafting financial plans, you can find me fishing with my wife and 3 kids in Hayward, Wi, relaxing at the beach in Indian Rocks Beach, FL, attempting to try every steak burrito ever made or reading the next book on my list.
