Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is to teach and inspire others to align their financial planning with their unique values, goals, and purpose. We find our clients often have big dreams, a deep sense of purpose, and value advice that aligns their financial future with what's most important to them.
Purpose
I firmly believe there are 5 Key Areas of Health that determine your ability to be the BEST version of you, the version you were MEANT TO BE:
1) Mental Health
2) Physical Health
3) Emotional Health
4) Spiritual Health
5) Financial Health
Much like the 5 Fingers on a hand you can be STRONG in the first 4 areas, however Financial Health operates like the opposable thumb... it exponentially magnifies the ability and usefulness of all other areas creating a sum that is greater than its parts.
You were made for MORE than you know.
You are capable of MORE than you've ever experienced.
Let's explore together just how great an IMPACT you can have on the PEOPLE and PURPOSE most important to you.
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:
Arkansas Autism Foundation
“Building bridges to independence for Arkansans with autism” The Arkansas Autism Foundation (AAF) was founded in February 2017 by local Arkansas-based autism advocates who want to make a direct impact on the autism community in Arkansas. AAF helps individuals and families with autism across their lifespan and provides autism-friendly events and relevant workshops and training opportunities. We raise awareness about autism and provide important resources and support to families and are committed to funding yearly grants for innovative or already existing programs that improve the lives of those affected by autism.
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.
