About me
Hello! I am originally from St. Charles, MO (I went to high school at Francis Howell North, the answer to the obligatory question "where did you go to high school?"). I came to Columbia in 2013 to pursue a Hospitality Management degree at the University of Missouri-Columbia. I worked professionally at Columbia Country Club as the Food and Beverage Director for 4 years before venturing into the financial industry with Northwestern Mutual. I decided to make that career change because I wanted to explore my lifelong interest in the financial sector. It has taken me to great places in life.
My family has always been vital to my professional success and my personal happiness. We enjoy being in the outdoors, especially on the golf course. You can catch me on the links looking for my ball or smashing one down the fairway. Community events have also become a large part of our lives because we enjoy meeting a lot of other great people and fully taking in everything our wonderful community has to offer.
My mission is to help my clients build strong, sound, and comprehensive financial plans to provide financial security for themselves and their families. We strive to help our clients dream big, worry less, and create better relationships with their loved ones. This is important to me because I understand how truly impactful I can be in my clients' lives. Helping people achieve their lifelong dreams has given me such fulfillment in life, I never want to stop.
I'm committed to helping you get closer to your dreams. When you partner with me, you can expect a judgment-free, pressure-free environment with conversations that will be jargon-free. I strive to provide you the best experience possible.
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.
