About me
I strive to provide a judgement- and pressure-free environment to discuss your financial goals without all the jargon.
Whether you're balancing debt and savings or just trying to build smart money habits, I'll help you save for your goals while being a true partner in achieving financial security.
A new way to educate
I began my career as a fifth grade science teacher, working as an Outward Bound instructor in the summer months. I then worked for a zipline construction company as a trainer and inspector for many years, traveling around the world and bringing my skills to new heights.
No matter my profession, there's always been an education component. And my philosophy has always been student-focused: meeting people where they are and teaching them the things they want to learn, the way they want to be taught.
I've found that financial education is much the same.
We don't often have access to financial education in school, but I had the privilege of getting it at home. Growing up on a farm meant diving head first into understanding how money moves, and that has informed my life in more ways than one.
My years as an educator and making connections have taught me that community is everything – and everyone deserves to have a financial plan that works for them.
If that sounds good to you, let's chat.
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.
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.
