Even though I was born in small-town Nebraska we didn’t stay there as I grew up in a military family. My dad was in the Air Force and my mom stayed home to raise my two older sisters, myself and a younger brother. When we got a bit older, my mom would go on to pursue her passion to be a first-generation college student, eventually going on to earn a PhD in Economics, and becoming a university professor in a small mid-west town.
Our childhood was simple with typically kid games and filled with memories of hanging out at the local swimming pool. Moving around a lot teaches you to be outgoing to make new friends and adapt to different environments. I learned from a young age that if I wanted something I would have to work for it, therefore, I entered the “workforce” at 12 and began babysitting for extra money.
As anyone from a military family knows, moving around comes with the territory and we were no exception. We bounced around quite a bit before finally settling in Salt Lake City for high school. There, I dedicated myself to my schoolwork and focused on achieving good grades. In the winter, I worked at a hotel in Snowbird Utah which came with one very special perk, a free ski slope pass.
After high school, I pursued higher education at the University of Utah, where I earned a degree in Economics, following in my mom’s footsteps. After graduation, I held a couple of jobs before finding my way into the world of financial services as a private banker with Wells Fargo. More than 30 years later, today, I lead a team that is passionate about helping people navigate the complexity of financial decisions to provide clarity.
Today, I'm happily married to my husband, Troy, and together we are the proud parents of three amazing grown children and six wonderful grandchildren. When I'm not in the office, I stay busy in the great outdoors of North Idaho. Golf holds the top spot, and I also enjoy biking, hiking, and any activity that involves spending time on the lake. Being around family and friends is an essential part of our lives. We truly enjoy hosting and with my passion for cooking, it isn’t hard to convince everyone to gather at our place for a good time.

The first six months of my life were spent in Eugene Oregon, and then my family embarked on a four-year journey through England and Africa. My father, a professor pursuing his doctorate in Geography of the Middle East, led the way, while my mother managed our family of seven. We eventually settled back in the western United States before returning to our family's multi-generational wheat and cattle ranch in eastern Oregon. Our days were filled with hard work, moving irrigation line, driving wheat truck, milking cows, raising chickens, and managing our cattle and hog operations.
My childhood wasn’t all work and equally filled with laughter and the blessing of two brothers and two sisters. We played kick the can, freeze tag, hide and seek, charades and enjoyed a good game of cards. I developed a passion for music at a young age, studying piano, voice, guitar, clarinet, and saxophone. This love of music and song spills over into the joyous attitude I bring to work every day.
High School was at Arlington High School in Oregon and equally busy, where I was involved in cheerleading, volleyball, tennis, and held various leadership roles. It’s no surprise that ranch life led me to be active in 4-H, showing hogs, horses, cows, while also pursuing singing, piano, and drama. I kept a very energetic schedule, which I suspect my parents planned to keep me from getting into trouble. After High School, I attended Trinity Western University in British Columbia and Eastern Oregon State College before entering the financial services industry in 2002 and joining Wells Fargo Advisors in 2007.
Twenty-two years later, I am proud and thankful to be part of a team that is passionate about helping people navigate the complexity of financial decisions and to help provide clarity. The life lessons I learned growing up and working hard help ensure that we touch on all aspects on our client’s financial lives; the good, bad and ugly.
My husband Eric and I are happily married with four beautiful children and ten amazing grandchildren. When not in the office, Eric and I enjoy camping, bushcraft, gardening, road trips, and discovering great cafes and restaurants. We love to host Karaoke parties and encourage our guests to sing with us. I am a Triple Negative breast cancer survivor and am passionate about sharing my story to help others, as well as helping others transition through life’s challenging times.

Early on I was fascinated by investing and learning about the stock market and the economy. For thirty years I have worked in the financial services industry. One of my greatest strengths is the ability to help clients understand financial matters in a relaxed and educational manner.
I was raised on a farm in Yankton, South Dakota where my parents and most of my family continue to reside. Growing up I worked in the family business, where I learned to work hard and accept the fact there is always a way to complete the task at hand.
My college career started in Minnesota at Mankato State University and ended at Cal State Long Beach. There, I earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in Finance.
Over the next three decades I worked as a financial advisor and educator to other advisors. In 2003 I received a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (R) designation. Every day, I try to bring knowledge and experience to this role. I believe that ethics and my commitment to excellence has been evident throughout my career. Our team works together as we help others prepare for their biggest financial commitments, generally retirement.
My wife Sarah and I are fortunate to live in downtown Coeur d’ Alene and the Pacific Northwest has been home for over twenty years. My daughter lives in Spokane and Sarah’s son and his family are in Post Falls.
My passions center around our town and it’s beautiful lake. If it is a warm sunny day, we hope to be boating on Lake Coeur d’ Alene. I dabble in hiking and skiing, and you can generally catch me at Car d’ Alene on Father’s Day. We recently stumbled across a classic Airstream Motorcoach that we couldn’t pass up. You may see us on the roads in this beautiful piece of art enjoying our North Idaho scenery. My biggest joy is watching my daughter mature as a young woman and making her way in the world.
Within our community, I have dedicated much time to the Rotary Club of Coeur d’ Alene. I appreciate how our members and our community give so much to those in need. I am a proud member and past president of our local club.
