A Thoughtful Financial Approach, Centered on What Matters Most

I am a financial professional who works with small business owners, families, and individuals to provide thoughtful, meaningful financial guidance. Because financial uncertainty is a natural part of life, my approach focuses on helping clients align their financial resources with what matters most to them - their goals, values, and priorities. As a Thrivent Financial Advisor, I believe money is a tool, not an end goal. Every situation is different, and I work with clients across various stages of life to support informed financial decision-making through personalized guidance and ongoing conversation. making thorough personalized guidance and ongoing conversation.

Experience Shaped by Service, Finance, and Community

I have lived most of my life in the Tampa Bay area and bring more than 20 years of experience in the life insurance and investments industry. Over the course of my career, I have held several corporate finance roles, including financial analyst and fund compliance analyst, which have given me a strong foundation in both financial analysis and regulatory oversight. In addition to my professional background, I served for eight years as a combat medic in the United States Army Reserves. I am actively involved in my church as a member of the bell choir and enjoy staying engaged in my local community. Outside of work, I enjoy ballroom dancing, staying active, and following Tampa Bay sports including the Lightning, Buccaneers, and Rays.

A Lifelong Commitment to Discipline, Balance, and Growth

A consistent theme throughout my life has been music and discipline, both of which have shaped how I approach my work today. I began playing piano at a young age and learned to read music early on. Over the years, I played trombone in high school and college marching bands and later performed on baritone in a drum and bugle corps for two years. That appreciation for structure, practice, and long-term commitment eventually led me to ballroom dancing, which I’ve enjoyed for more than a decade. Many of these same principles carry over into financial planning, including patience, preparation, and an understanding that progress occurs over time. My decision to become a financial advisor with Thrivent was driven by a desire to make a more direct, positive impact on others’ lives. Thrivent’s values closely align with my own, and the role allows me to work alongside clients as they navigate important financial decisions with care and intention.
