Professional Journey
Despite being surrounded by a family of entrepreneurs, I wasn’t certain that was the path for me. All of that changed when I attended a Northwestern Mutual lunch and learn in undergrad. While admittedly, it was a great way to get a free meal as a broke college kid, little did I know that attending would change everything for me.
Something clicked. It checked all my boxes: business, finance, sales, helping people. So, I decided to give it a shot.
I started as a financial representative intern in my junior year of college. Now, more than 15 years later, as a business owner and wealth management advisor, I cannot imagine doing anything else. I love what I do.
The value of Northwestern Mutual’s support when I was just starting out was immeasurable. I could not have built my team, trust, and relationships without their reputation and reliability.
It’s been exciting to watch our approach to planning change and evolve over the years, shifting from primarily insurance and risk management products to more comprehensive financial planning strategies.
If you’re looking for a wealth management advisor to help you solve a financial problem, accumulate more wealth, or transition to retirement, I’d love to help. Feel free to contact me directly.
Personal

I am married to my beautiful wife Anna, and we have a 2 ½ year old son named Kieran whom we adore. We moved to Lake Elmo, MN a few years ago and have been loving the more rural vibe.
When I'm not working, I enjoy fishing, sports and road biking. Community involvement is important to me, and I believe strongly that those with the capacity to give back should do so.
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.
