Personal
Personal engagements and accomplishments are an integral component of being a professionally successful wealth management advisor. I reside in Glenview, IL with my wife Chris and our three children. Family is a main priority of mine, and spending time with them is one of my favorite things to do.
I also enjoy sports, both as a spectator and a participant. When the weather is nice outside, I enjoy playing golf and softball. Both of my girls love softball as well, and coaching them and watching them play over the years has been a blessing. My son is just starting to learn golf and I can't wait to see how he will grow and learn in this sport.
Faith is another pillar of importance for me. I am an active member of my parish, St. Catherine Laboure. Here I spend time helping out the church with my friends and family in various fulfilling activities.

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.

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.
