I got my start in the financial services industry in 1998 as an intern with Northwestern Mutual. What has kept me in this profession is the opportunity to provide families and executives with the tools to achieve a lifetime of financial security. I have devoted my life to my personal mission of helping my clients understand the true purpose of money and how to be better stewards of their finances.

I grew up in a family of ten: six brothers, one sister, and two wonderful parents. We were born and raised on St. Louis' famous Dooley burger! Family is very important to me – it is my top priority to spend as much time as possible laughing with and loving on my family whom I cherish. Outside of the office, I enjoy exercising, fly fishing, tennis, traveling, reading financial and motivational books, and public speaking at associations and motivational meetings.

Another core tenet in my life is my faith. I am actively involved in my church, and I enjoy Sundays spent attending service with my family and guiding my children in their faith.

I am heavily involved in Legacy Builders St. Louis, a ministry designed to help businessmen focus on eternal rewards rather than just temporary ones. I strive to learn about how God can impact not only my life and my business but also the people I care about, including my clients.
