As one of the founding Visionaries, I work on creating and executing the vision for the company, which is to provide world-class service to clients and grow to be the most prestigious wealth management firm in the markets we serve. Our team and I worked hard on establishing the core values and culture within the company, which creates a positive, energetic environment for our clients, Visionaries and staff.My father, uncle and grandfather were all bankers, and I followed suit by taking a job in banking during college. I soon realized my heart was not in banking, but in helping people build and achieve their goals and dreams.I became a Financial Representative at 23 years old at another financial firm, where I worked for 13 years, the last seven as a Managing Director. I felt my clients needed independent advice, and I knew I could serve them better if I had the flexibility to offer unlimited investment options. I founded Visionary Wealth Advisors with Tim Hammett to provide the best possible services and unlimited opportunity for our clients. I see that there is greatness in the lives of every person, and it’s the job of a Visionary to help them see it and become inspired by their own vision for their future.I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from Eastern Illinois University and have lived in the O’Fallon, Illinois area for 12 years. My wife Julie and I founded Swing Fore Hope, a charity that funds cancer research and provides financial assistance to cancer patients.We have four boys. We love to travel and live life to the fullest. We are actively involved at Holy Trinity Catholic Church/School and fundraising for Swing Fore Hope.
