I'm often asked how, after 24 years as an Edward Jones financial advisor, I'm at my desk most mornings by 6 a.m. The answer is my "Why." It's for my clients and my family. They deserve the best from me and that demands time and dedication. I'm incredibly passionate about what I do and who I serve. I focus on helping successful families and individuals achieve their financial goals, using an established process to determine what is most important to them, tailoring a strategy specific to their goals and partnering with them throughout their lifetime to help keep them on track.

I earned my degree in finance with a minor in management from Minnesota State University, Mankato in 1999 and immediately started my career with Edward Jones. I became a limited partner in 2007 and have been selected to attend the Managing Partner's Conference, an honor reserved for the top 400 Edward Jones financial advisors, in 2018-2020. In 2019, Barron's named me to their list of "America's Top 1200 Financial Advisors,"* a first among Edward Jones financial advisors in Montana. Beginning in 2021, my branch was selected to attend the Drucker Council three consecutive years. This Edward Jones recognition event celebrates its highest performing branches. In 2023, I was named to the Forbes' ranking of "Best-in-State Wealth Advisors"**for the second consecutive year. I am living proof that if you love your work, you never work a day in your life.

My family is my other "Why." I married the love of my life and best friend, Anna, 19 years ago. We spend our time together enjoying the sporting endeavors of our three amazing children and all that the Montana outdoors offer. Above all, we love traveling together as a family.
