Dream Big

I am an Oregon native, living in Lake Oswego with my beautiful wife Darcy. Together we have raised our two children and we now enjoy most our time watching our three grandchildren grow. I earned my degree in business and finance from Pacific Lutheran University. From there, I followed my father and grandfather's footsteps by joining Northwestern Mutual in 1979. Within the past 43 years of my experience, I have focused on solving business and estate needs of our clients.

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.
