Professional
As a senior in High School, I experienced one the most tragic acts of terrorism of my life, 9-11. After watching the heinous act I knew the next chapter of my life would involve the military. Immediately after graduating from high school, I like some many other brave men and women enlisted in the United States Army as an Airborne Infantry soldier. During my time I deployed to South Korea, and Iraq in support of Iraqi Freedom Soon after Chris returned from the Army. After coming home from the Army, I graduated from University of Pittsburgh with honors. In 2009-2022 I continued to serve my community as law enforcement, before joining Northwestern Mutual in August of 2022.
Through life I have experienced the hurdles of life, which include my daughter with special needs, my mother being diagnosed with ALS, and losing my father at young age of 21, I understand the importance of Long Term Care Planning, Special Needs Planning, and Legacy Planning.

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.
