I am a dedicated husband to my wife, and father to my teenage daughter while continuing with a targeted career education.Prior to becoming a financial service and retirement planning professional, I was fortunate to develop a wealth of real-life experiences within the Inland River Transportation system, Medical, Behavioral Health, and Insurance industries. These industries and the friendships formed along the way provided the environments for developing keen relationship-building skills and extraordinary experiences in the importance of risk management.Fast forward many years to where life experiences and skills allow me to now service our clients with the best tools and systems for helping anyone to financial freedom within a risk-managed plan, that is specific to your needs! Continued educational efforts and relationships with industry leaders resulted in several positive things such as membership with the Society for Financial Awareness.
