Personal
I am blessed in the fact that I have built a business around my life. The most important things to me are my faith, my family, and my clients. I treat this business as my ministry, and have an amazing wife, Kate, who is always by my side supporting me. My greatest joy is being a dad to three amazing kids, Maddox, Mabry, and Annie. I'm very grateful that this business has given me the flexibility to be present and not miss anything that they have chosen to pursue.
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. Our team also enjoys making an impact in our local community by supporting the Christian Activity Center and by participating as a basketball coach for both Carriel Junior High School and Illinois Elite AAU.
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.
Christian Activity Center
The mission of Christian Activity Center is to prepare youth in East St. Louis for successful futures: spiritually, academically, and physically. Our Northwestern Mutual - Fairview Heights District Office is proud to be an annual host sponsor for the Golf for a Brighter Future tournament!
Carriel Junior High School & Illinois Elite AAU Basketball Coach
I've been blessed to be out in the community coaching basketball again. This is something that brings me a lot of joy, and it's an added bonus that I get to be Maddox's coach!
Professional
We all have a story that makes us who we are. I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and seeing how we can bring value to them. The only way I know to go about doing this is through open and honest communication and building an ongoing relationship.

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.
