Throughout life, I've always enjoyed helping people. Whether that was volunteering as a kid, creating a program to mentor youth hockey players while in high school, coaching high school hockey for a decade, to now officiating hockey in the Seattle area - helping people has always been a part of my life. So, it was a very natural fit for me when I first began helping people achieve their financial goals as an Edward Jones financial advisor.I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in economics as well as a business certificate from the Wisconsin School of Business. I was then selected to enroll in the extensive Edward Jones' Financial Advisor Career Development Program. Afterwards, I spent time attending the College for Financial Planning to earn the AAMS™ designation as well as the CRPC™. These professional designations enable me to better focus on clients’ pre-and post-retirement needs. I ran an Edward Jones branch in Wisconsin since 2016 before relocating in 2022 with my partner, Katie, to the Seattle area, and we cannot be more excited to set down roots here. We both enjoy hiking and volunteering in the community, and I love giving back additionally through officiating youth hockey.My clients believe that a high level of personal service, a comprehensive approach and a close partnership with a financial advisor who understands their complete situation is the best way to care for their financial well-being. I begin by asking about your family, then finances and finally the future you want to create for yourself and those you care about. I execute that process with personal and caring service from a team that can recognize you by the sound of your voice when you call. My branch office administrator, Gladys, is always here for assistance as well. If you'd like to explore what this experience might mean for you, please reach out and schedule a complimentary review.
