Personal

My wife Tamsey and I graduated from UVA and have lived in Charlottesville for nearly 30 years.

I enjoy running, biking, traveling, and spending time with my family.

I'm an elder in our church (Christ Community), serve on the board of the Journey of Awesomeness (bike fund-raising group), and volunteer with the local high school track & field events.

Professional

I'm passionate about helping my clients identify and work toward their financial goals and dreams. I help with insurance, investments, and comprehensive planning. We employ a process of asking lots of questions, exploring options, and making recommendations based on each client's unique needs and hopes. We then follow up and review regularly with clients to monitor progress and adjust as needed.

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.
