About Me
I'm proud to have been with Northwestern Mutual since 2020 as a financial advisor servicing clients primarily in the Lehigh Valley. Prior to my time as an advisor, I was a student at Gettysburg College where I studied economics and math. Since being a young boy in elementary school at Northwestern Lehigh, I have always loved numbers and money and am blessed to work in a field where I can make such a significant positive impact on the lives of others. The best part of this career is being able to educate clients on ideas previously unknown to them and seeing the immediate benefit they can gain from conversations. Whether this relates to optimizing investments, helping with tax reduction strategies, or protecting against risks. Outside of the career, I enjoy playing soccer and traveling with friends/family. Although not at the same competitive playing level I was in my youth, I now enjoy refereeing college and semi-professional soccer in addition to playing. I also enjoy connecting with other local business owners in the Lehigh Valley area and across the country. BNI is one such organization I am proud to be a part of with aims to better the Lehigh Valley community and business owners nationwide.

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.
My Mission
I'm dedicated to helping the families in our communities achieve financial freedom regardless of what stage of life they're in. Whether you're just graduating from college or starting your career, beginning a family, or nearing retirement, it's never too early or too late to begin your financial journey.
