Professional
Before joining Northwestern Mutual in 2003 I worked for 5 years as a child care worker for Casa de Los Ninos. Because of my experience at Casa, I knew that no matter what I did next, I wanted to continue to make an impact in my community.
That is where Northwestern Mutual comes into the picture. Through Northwestern Mutual I am able to help individuals and families meet their financial goals as well as create a plan for security in times of the unknown.
In 2007, I became Northwestern Mutual's Long Term Care Insurance Specialist in Southwestern United States. This has allowed me to continued to impact lives through planning in the event that a long term disability or chronic illness occurs.
In 2015, I became a Financial Advisor with Northwestern Mutual. This allows me to help my clients create an even more well rounded plan for financial security with the inclusion of investment and advisory programs.
Throughout my life I have aspired to do my very best for myself, my family, my friends and my community. My career path and work with Northwestern Mutual has allowed me to go to sleep each night fulfilled, knowing that I have done what is right and true for those that place their trust in me and matter to me the most.

Personal
I was born in New York but moved to Tucson, Arizona at a young age and consider myself a native.
I enjoy watching sports; especially football. I also like watching movies; mostly comedies and anything with Adam Sandler. Some weekends you can find me on the golf course with my buddies or on the driving range teaching my two oldest children, Addy and Aven the basics of the game. Most of all, I love spending time with my wonderful family. My wife, Holly and I have been married for 18 years and we have three amazing children, Adelyn (Addy), Aven, and Ayla. Our family is completed by our two cats, Truman and Murray and dogs, Mavis and Muffin.
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.
