My journey into financial advising began with a deep-rooted desire to help people. After a stint in mortgage writing, I realized I craved more than just transactional interactions - I wanted to build relationships. Becoming a financial advisor allowed me to connect with clients on a deeper level, understanding their joys, concerns, and unique perspectives on life.
I'm fascinated by the diversity of views my clients have on various topics, and understanding their beliefs is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. Outside the office, my life is rich with family and hobbies. My wife Katie, our Golden Retriever Argo, and my close-knit family in St. Johns form my support system. They've always believed that this career is my calling, and their support means the world to me.
When I'm not helping clients or spending time with family, you'll find me indulging in my love for golf, exploring the woods with Argo, or keeping fit. Wrestling has been a significant part of my life - I was the number one recruit in the country coming out of high school and had the honor of representing the US at the JR World Wrestling Championship. Today, I continue my passion for the sport by coaching wrestling alongside my dad and brother. My wrestling journey, which includes a state championship at St. Johns High School and a college career at the University of Michigan, culminated in my induction into the 2012 Hall of Fame.
