Home About Me My Team Planning Products & Services Resources

I know because I’ve been there.

A third-generation veteran, I retired having earned the rank of Lieutenant Colonel after 27 strong years of service. Though I hung up the uniform, my desire to help others never went away. My Army career spanned multiple specialized fields - military planner, cybersecurity/communications officer, and medic. The skills learned (a Masters in Planning, another in Military Operations) at the prestigious US Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) served me well in the field – as a civilian, I now use those same skills to serve clients as their financial advisor. In a very real way I understand complexity and effective planning, balancing needs right now with being prepared for the long-play.

Let's get started

My roots

Integrity, loyalty, and gallantry: These are the values I live by each day. Service was ingrained in me from the moment I could walk, growing up in awe of a grandmother who flew B-25 bombers in World War II, and seeing my dad throughout his military career. In 1994, I joined the Army to give back to my country, and continue my family's legacy. After several career chapters there, I knew I wanted to continue making a difference - but needed to redefine what that meant. Helping others wasn't just something my family did – it was our way of life.

NM Castle Rock new office ribbon cutting

So when I was introduced to the Northwestern Mutual Greater Colorado in 2021, I instantly knew this was the place to apply my unique and well-honed skillset. Since joining NM, people still call me "Sully" and I still apply my planner's toolkit in helping others with their financial picture. I've been recognized as a top new financial representative, and stepped into leadership as a Growth and Development Director where I help guide others in this amazing career.
