I am passionate about helping people make sense of investing. I believe choosing a financial advisor is an important and personal decision. That is why I believe it is important for me to invest my time in order to understand what you are working toward before you invest your money. Understanding what is important to you, whether that be your needs, goals or values, is central to our relationship. I will partner with you to help you focus on your goals. It is important that I understand the level of risk you are comfortable accepting when investing so we can balance it with the steps necessary to work toward reaching your long-term goals. Knowing that your needs and goals may change over time, I will partner with you through those changes.

We can work together using an established process to stay focused on your goals by:
- developing specific strategies to help you achieve your goals
- monitoring your progress to help make sure you stay on track
- discussing investments and life events

I have been married to my wife, Michelyn, for 26 years and we have three children. Our son, Mackenon, is in the Air Force, our son, Braxton, is a Boilermaker, and our daughter, Taelyn, is in high school.

I served eight years in the United States Marine Corps, where I was an avionics technician on the AV-8B Harrier and obtained the rank of Staff Sergeant.

I enjoy fishing, golfing, hiking, trail riding and being active in the community. I have coached soccer, baseball and football. Recently, I resigned as an MHSAA referee. I have participated and volunteered in Toys for Tots, The Armory Youth Project and The Gratiot County Chamber where I served as president.

Our branch team consists of myself and a branch office administrator, Amanda Johns. Our goal is to provide you with the highest level of service possible. We look forward to earning the opportunity to partner with you and to help you accomplish your financial goals.
