Why You Are In This Profession

I love what I do and that’s helping people, families and companies achieve and enjoy financial prosperity. This profession is intellectually stimulating, as we get to help great people. The idea of making the complex simple, digestible, and actionable, is what our clients ask for, and what we’re uniquely equipped to deliver. We’ve helped successful people take a coordinated approach, where fragmented planning existed, that allows them to gain clarity to take real action. Whether it’s tied to their legacy, a successful retirement, business sale, or taking care of their family.

Personal Information

I’m married to my wife Devan of 12 years and we have 5 amazing kids: Ayla, Maddox, Aidyn, Rowan, and Sage. Devan is the heartbeat of our family and has held the home front down for years.

Why You Are In This Profession

At first, I didn’t know it. But more than 10 years in, I believe I was called to this profession. Very few people know this, but due to my struggles of learning to read, my parents found out early on that I am dyslexic. That early challenge helped me develop two unique abilities, which very few people have. I can remember just about everything I hear, that and grit (learning to read was tough). My early challenges have turned into a powerful strength within the complex work we do. I love drawing from the deep memory I have, to bring strategies to the table for our clients, seemingly making the complex simple.

Personal Information

My wife Rachel and I have been married since 2007. We have two daughters, Adalie and Eliza, and our Wheaton terrier, Buddy. As a family we have been blessed to spend time traveling and going on adventures. I enjoy a few to many things when I’m not with the family, like tinkering on projects, woodworking, mountain biking, and wake surfing.

Navigating this complex and challenging financial landscape can be a burden and I find joy when I can help a family successfully do it.
