I grew up with investing as a regular part of everyday life. It was just something we talked about around the dinner table. Over time, that early exposure sparked a genuine interest in how money decisions can shape lives, open doors, and provide peace of mind. That’s what really stuck with me: the impact it can have on real people.

As a former college athlete, I’m naturally goal-oriented and thrive on helping others work toward theirs. Now, as I train to become a financial advisor, my focus is on combining clear, practical advice with a personal touch. I want people to feel supported and understood, whether they’re just starting out, or navigating a big life change.

What excites me most is building real relationships. I love being someone others can count on – not just for numbers and plans, but for steady guidance during both exciting moments and uncertain ones.

On the personal side:
Outside of work, I stay active with weightlifting, hiking, and getting out on the water when I can. I also make time to visit friends who’ve moved away because staying connected matters a lot to me. And come fall, you’ll find me cheering on the Michigan Wolverines. Go Blue!
