That's where I come in as your trusted Northwestern Mutual partner, collaborating to match you with custom solutions, freeing up your time for more of the things you love, and making you feel 100% ready.

About me
I've always been a goal-setter, committed to seeing big things through.
My parents taught me three things: walk through life with bold faith, have an unwavering midwestern work ethic, and always to be saving to invest in the dream that is calling for you.
I had no idea where those lessons would lead me. It turns out that they would lead me to you.
I've always lived boldly, whether I was exercising the discipline necessary to compete in fitness competitions and triathlons, earning an MBA, sacrificing lifestyle for my end goal of a family through IVF or aggressively saving to invest in my future self.
As a result of that commitment and investment, I positioned myself to leave a secure job to launch a business of my own with Northwestern Mutual in Dec of 2019.
Now I'm putting that commitment and unwavering work ethic to work for you—to help you achieve financial fitness that will bring your vivid dreams to life.

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.
