My journey from the cockpit to the world of finance began in 2023 when I joined Purple Wealth. With a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Mercer University and ten years of military service as a U.S. Air Force pilot, I bring discipline, strategic thinking, and attention to detail into every client relationship. Those skills translate naturally into wealth management, where my focus is helping clients take control of their financial lives, by pursuing clarity and confidence.
I’ve passed the Certified Financial Planner® exam and earned my Series 7 and Series 66 securities licenses blending academic rigor with real-world experience. I work closely with clients, families, business owners, and retirees to turn complex financial topics into clear, actionable plans aligned with what matters most to them.
My approach to financial planning goes beyond numbers. I believe meaningful conversations are the foundation of great planning with conversations that lead to intentional living, financial confidence, and a greater sense of control over the future. My military background continues to influence my work through a mission-first, people-always mindset that prioritizes preparation, trust, and thoughtful decision-making.
I live in the Black Hills with my wife, Mandy, and our children. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, trail running, and spending time outdoors with my family. I continue to serve as a pilot in the Air National Guard, carrying the values of leadership, service, and integrity into every aspect of my life and work.
