About me
I was raised in the small town of Herreid, SD - population roughly 450 (yes, I know you've never heard of it). Between my background in sports and working alongside my grandpa on the farm, the lessons of "working hard, having fun, and being a good teammate" were engrained into my being.
I soon realized that while I loved helping my grandpa, I didn't share the same affections for hands-on farming. On another note, while I was fortunate enough to play football at the collegiate level (Div. 2), I would ultimately end up watching games on Sunday like most do.
I was fortunate to be introduced to the Northwestern Mutual internship program in 2022 and started my full-time career in 2024. I graduated from Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD with a BS in Business Management while playing football (Go Wolves).
My practice is centered around serving farmers, ranchers, and other agriculture related professions along with medical professionals, business owners, and faith-oriented families. Our team strives to help clients achieve their definition of success through comprehensive financial planning.
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.
