For me, investing is not just a single track. I help people look at the 360º picture and approach decisions this way. Clients often run ideas by me as a chance to get a different point of view and they know I will give them my honest opinion. I make sure that I am available to my clients and keep in touch with meetings and check-ins. I believe when I can help with questions or issues, I know I’m making a difference in a client’s life.
I’m also excited to work with the new generation of investors. It’s energizing to see them starting out with careers and families. I want to assist them as they look to achieving their financial goals and dreams through strategic use of tools and products that can help them now and serve them in the future.
I believe in contributing to my community through volunteering and financial support. I am currently on the board at St. Peter’s Catholic Church, Habitat for Humanity and the Louisville YMCA. I am surrounded by my loving wife, Jill and my family, including 7 grandchildren.

My financial strategies are designed for each client, with portfolios created to consider everything from goals and lifestyle to health costs and tax implications1. I work with clients to help achieve their objectives, whether that means education for grandchildren, passing on wealth, or simply a comfortable retirement.
I was able to travel the world through basketball, lastly with the Harlem Globetrotters, which gave me the opportunity to meet and build relationships with people from all walks of life. Finances were the one consistent priority with almost every person I encountered and that cultivated my passion for helping people with similar concerns.
My clients, who range from business professionals and athletes to teachers and doctors, appreciate the tools and resources that I can provide. I enjoy getting to know each client and their families so that I can help them make decisions toward achieving their goals and dreams. My hope is that they feel more confident about their finances as we work together.
I’m proud to say that I work with both my wife and father-in-law, and our commitment to our clients is a true family value. In my time away from work, I enjoy spending time with my family and following college and professional sports. I am currently on the board for Aultman College and am certified as a Chartered Retirement Plans Specialist (CRPS®)).
