I started my career as a financial advisor in 199. In 1998 I obtained my CFP® designation. Through Kaplan, I taught CFP® curriculum courses at The University of Minnesota, Metro State University, and the University of St. Thomas while I was an advisor. In 2005, I transitioned away from personal practice, and held leadership positions at several national financial services firms. in 2017, my heart led me back to working with clients, so I joined Midwest Secure Retirement. I focus my practice on helping clients save for retirement maximizing retirement income. I hold securities licenses, state insurance licenses and a Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) designation. I enjoy performing music, cycling, and spending time with loved ones. i currently resides in Woodbury with Patti, my significant other and good friend since the age of 12. I have two children I love dearly and of whom I am very proud.
