About

I am a 2011 graduate of the University of South Dakota with a BA in International Relations and History. I also competed as a Coyote on the swimming & diving team. Prior to my experience as an advisor, I worked for the SD DOT. I credit my integrity managing federal grants with helping me to possess the fiduciary responsibility necessary in the financial services industry.

"I enjoy meeting new people and forming connections for life. I think that the best way to approach your financial future is to work side-by-side with your advisor instead of across a table. As a former DI collegiate athlete, hard work and dedication are two values ingrained in me"
