Professional

It has been my passion over the past 30+ years to bring solutions to client's financial problems and concerns. I am affiliated with and joined Northwestern Mutual in 1988.

With my broad spectrum of clients, I have learned that anyone of any wealth potential can maximize the efficiency of his or her wealth with a carefully calculated plan.

I am currently a member of the Advanced Association of Life Underwriters (AALU) and the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA).

In addition to my many state insurance licenses, I hold Series 6 and 63 licenses. I am a registered representative with Northwestern Mutual Investment Services LLC, a member of the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) from 2000, 2002-2006, 2008-2018, and a member of the Northwestern Mutual Forum, which is the recognition of the highest level of productivity and excellence, in 2003 and 2005-2023.  I also was recognized in the top 10 advisors in the Central Region in January 2018; the Central Region consists of over 2,500 advisors and was a Lives Leader in 2021.

When not serving others and my clients, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

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.
