After graduating from Central Michigan University in 2008 with a degree in financial planning, I began working as a financial advisor. In 2014, I transitioned my practice to Lakeshore Financial Group to be part of an independent firm. I believe it is of great value to be part of a firm whose focus is on the success of our clients rather than the profitability of the employing broker/dealer. Over the past decade, I have enjoyed the opportunity to connect with those in the community and gain insight on how to better help people meet their financial goals. The most enjoyable aspect of being an advisor is the opportunity to build long-lasting client/advisor friendships, there is nothing more exciting than to see the growth of friends. Along with a Bachelor’s Degree in financial planning, I hold the Life Underwriter Training Counsel Fellow (LUTCF®) designation. I am an Investment Adviser Representative and General Securities Representative of Commonwealth Financial Network®. My registrations include FINRA Series 7 (General Securities Representative), Series 63 (Uniform Securities Agent State Law), and Series 65 (Uniform Combined State Law). I am also licensed for life and health insurance. My wife, Ashley, and I live in Cascade with our two children. We enjoy spending time boating, outdoors, and serving with our church community.
