I was born and raised in the small town of Quincy, Illinois. At a young age, my parents taught my two older sisters and me to be confident, have a strong work ethic, and always stay humble. It has been very important for me to carry those values forward in my professional and personal life. I want to be someone my clients can trust to provide them with honest financial advice. Away from the office I like to spend most of my free time with my wife, Morgan, and my bloodhound Frank. Morgan and I enjoy trying new restaurants in the St. Louis area, and are known to be way to competitive when playing board games. To stay active, I enjoy exercising, hiking, and walking Frank in Tower Grove Park. I also enjoy playing recreational sports like softball, bowling, and golf. As often as I can, I travel to the Rocky Mountains and Mark Twain Lake to snow and water ski. Giving back to the community is important to me; I enjoy taking time to educate the youth on healthy financial habits and help on projects for Habitat for Humanity.
