I believe life is short, so enjoy it now and never say no to making memories!
I am a number cruncher at heart, so I look at all aspects of planning and help clients make informed financial decisions depending on what stage of life they are in.
For business owners, it means helping them understand the Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) exemption and working alongside their CPA to properly structure the business in order to maximize potential tax‑free gains at the time of sale.
For some clients, the focus is on how to create passive income through dividends and income strategies; for some it is redirecting how they donate or tithe so they can give more tax efficient; for some it is educating on when to begin taking Social Security benefits or pensions; and for others it is focusing on how to preserve what they have worked hard to build and the best way to leave a legacy.
Growing up the value of saving and investing was instilled in me. I’ve turned my passion for numbers and interest in listening to people’s stories into a profession and began my career as a Financial Advisor with JP Morgan in 2012. I then chose to move my financial practice to Wells Fargo Advisors in 2022. I wanted access to broader insights, expanded investment solutions and to be surrounded by a collaborative team of advisors. By working together, we’re able to deliver more thoughtful, well‑rounded advice. I am dedicated to easing clients’ financial stress through thoughtful investment, estate, and tax planning strategies—so clients can confidently enjoy life today! Core portfolios for clients I personally manage, so I understand the purpose behind why a specific fund, stock, bond or ETF was selected and how it fits into each client’s overall strategy.
I am a tall white guy from Billings Montana whose mom saw my name in the name book, liked it and wanted something different. In elementary school we moved to Snohomish, so Washington became home after all these years. Outside of the office you will find me working on a home project, coaching my son’s sports and enjoying the outdoors with my family. On Sunday, you will find us at Church praising Jesus- followed by lunch at our local burger stop. We live in Snohomish still but have our eyes set on bluer, warmer skies in the future!
I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and explore how I can help!

What Is the State of Your Estate?
Formally documenting your wishes for your estate may seem daunting, as it involves grappling with your mortality. But it is crucial part of a comprehensive wealth plan, one that goes beyond finances and cash flow.
Formal estate plans can help:
- Lead to timely, efficient estate settlement and distributions to beneficiaries
- Reduce potential family dynamics issues
- Prevent unwanted tax liability
- Provide comfort and continuity that your wishes will be followed as you age and after you’re gone
- Align your wealth transfer with your charitable vision.
It’s important to remember that your estate plan isn’t set in stone. You should revisit it at least annually to account for changes to your goals or life. We can refer you to Wells Fargo affiliates or work with your existing estate plan provider to provide crucial guidance for this pillar of effective wealth management.
Essential Estate Planning Documents
The number of documents in your estate plan will depend entirely on your circumstances, but these five can be considered must-haves for most people.
Will – This legal document expresses your wishes for distributing your property after you die. Establishing a will is important, especially if you have minor children or significant assets.
Durable Power of Attorney - This gives someone else authority to make financial decisions on your behalf if you become unable. This is highly recommended as it ensures your finances will be handled properly if you cannot do so yourself.
Healthcare Power of Attorney - If you can’t communicate your wishes regarding your care, this document ensures they will be honored in the event of your incapacitation.
Living Will - This outlines your wishes for end-of-life care, including life support or other medical treatments.
Revocable Living Trust - With this document, you can avoid probate court and distribute your property according to your wishes after you die. This can save time and money while adding an additional layer of privacy.
Trust services available through banking and trust affiliates in addition to nonaffiliated companies of Wells Fargo and its affiliates.
