Personal
I grew up in small-town Irene, SD with my only brother, Trey. I went to Irene-Wakonda High School and played 4 sports throughout. After high school, I played basketball and went to school at Northern State for 4 more years, where I completed my BS in Economics and MS in Financial Services.
I got my foot in the door with Northwestern Mutual while attending school in Aberdeen. I began my internship in 2018 and continued working there until I went full-time in April 2020.
My business is dedicated to giving professionals of all shapes and sizes a hands-on, individualistic approach to financial planning. I want to help give you the tools necessary to accomplish your goals, big or small, while giving you the freedom to spend guilt-free along the way!

Community Involvement
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.
