About me
I’m proud of who I have become, and I owe my personal growth to my environment and personal experience. My competitive nature and winning mentality roots from Penn High School, where I found success in athletics. I rely on consistency, discipline, and grit to win day-by-day, week-by-week, month-by-month, and year-by-year. Even in adversity, I am determined to continue even if it brings failure or disappointment. In the same way, I bring this philosophy to financial planning. Achieving your financial goals takes the same discipline, consistency, and grit to prioritize what’s possible.
As a graduate of Millikin University, and I’m thankful for experiences that taught me to be vulnerable, and how to ask for help. While I may not have been the valedictorian, I stay humble and learn from other around me. I am grateful to every single one of my professors and advisors for being a resource for me, and they have inspired me to live my life as a resource for others. Likewise, working with a financial representative takes vulnerability. Ultimately, my team and I want to take your goals and priorities and craft a plan to make your financial visions come into fruition.
Before I started at Northwestern Mutual, my career was in car sales. Initially, my focus was solely hitting quotas. I was successful at it, but the more than I learned the ins and outs of credit and finances, I noticed that the clients I was working with were not always making financially smart decisions. I could no longer sell a car to just sell a car.
My new goal is to impact an individual or a family for their lives. I believe that I can make an impact through my career at Northwestern Mutual, and this is the best place for me to do that. I look forward to meeting with you and getting to know your goals so we can plan together.
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.
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.
