What drew you to financial planning?

I was drawn to financial planning because of the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I’ve always wanted to work in a field where the work I do can have a lasting impact, and few things are more personal than helping someone make confident decisions about their financial future.

​

What does "better” mean to you?

To me, “better” means building a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. I believe that looks different for everyone. Financial planning isn’t simply about accumulating wealth; it’s about understanding what matters most to you and making intentional decisions that support those priorities.

 

I’m still discovering what “better” means for me, and I think that’s part of the journey. My role is to help clients ask those same questions, define what matters to them, and create a plan that gives them the freedom and confidence to pursue it.

​

What’s something people are surprised to learn about you?

​​I learned to play ice hockey at the age of twenty-nine. To say I’m good would be a bit of a stretch, but I’ve really enjoyed the challenge of learning something completely new.

 

What’s your favorite travel memory?

One of my favorite recent memories is getting engaged in Lake Tahoe. The area has always been special to us, and we’ve been fortunate to spend time there together throughout our relationship. Getting engaged in a place that already held so much meaning for us made the experience even more memorable.

 

Where would we find you on a sunny Saturday?

I’d start with a great cup of coffee, followed by a walk—preferably somewhere surrounded by nature. From there, I’d find a way to get outside and do something active, whether that’s boating, golfing, or exploring somewhere new. I’d finish the day with dinner with Maddy or friends and be in bed watching a show or reading a book.
