Professional
Growing up, I realized that education around personal finances was strongly lacking in the community. With this being the most pressing topic on everyone's mind, I developed a strong passion to be a resource for the people in my life that I cared about. That passion led me to The Ohio State University where I graduated with a Bachelors of Business Administration.
From the beginning, I knew I wanted to work in the business world to have the opportunity to interact with people every day. With client-focused values, our mission is to help guide clients towards achieving their personal, professional, and financial goals every day.

Personal
I was born and raised in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. I grew up playing sports and developed a strong passion for the Buckeyes. At the beginning of my college career, I moved to Columbus to pursue my undergrad at The Ohio State University. Throughout my studies at OSU, I fell in love with the city and decided to stay.
My family is my number one priority, so spending time with the people I love is very important to me. If I'm not with friends or family, I'm probably enjoying a new book or planning my next trip.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
